Mallayer / 16844

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 513 cm and unfolds in a slender format filled with repeating floral ornament and a calm, finely worked border. Cream, neutral beige, muted red, faded blue-green, and warm brown create a softened palette that feels evenly aged rather than starkly faded. The design remains readable across the full length, with medium wear lending depth, patina, and a gentle loosening of contrast. Circa 1890 - 1910, it captures the quiet balance and heritage character associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
