Mallayer / 21626

This Mallayer antique rug measures 109 x 467 cm and shows a long, disciplined field of repeating floral ornament, enclosed by a slim border and fine guard bands. Its palette of rust, brown, cream, and muted green is gently muted, allowing the design to unfold with quiet clarity and a softened hand. Woven in wool, it has medium distress, with visible fading and worn edges that add to its aged surface. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries a composed, heritage-led presence, balancing intricate pattern with an inviting, weathered tone. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
