This Mallayer antique rug measures 168 x 447 cm and presents a quiet, aged rhythm through its dense allover field and enclosing floral border. The red and rust ground is lifted by cream, white, and neutral notes, with subtle olive accents in the border bands and softened transitions across the surface. Visible fading, abrash, and wear lend the rug a well-lived character that feels balanced rather than ornate. Circa 1895 - 1910, it speaks to the refined visual language of Mallayer weaving, with wool contributing warmth, depth, and a tactile finish.
