Mallayer / 14808

This Mallayer antique rug measures 104 x 414 cm, presenting a long, slender silhouette with an intricately worked centre and a structured series of borders. The red palette is balanced by neutral notes, charcoal accents, and warm orange highlights, creating depth without losing clarity. Wool lends a tactile surface, and the low distress shows as gentle wear, softened colour, and subtle tonal variation across the field. Circa 1940 - 1960, it reflects the compact ornament and steady cadence often associated with a well-resolved Mallayer, where the design remains legible while time has mellowed the overall effect.
