Mallayer / 22318

This Mallayer antique rug measures 287 x 381 cm and is composed around repeating village-house motifs arranged in disciplined rows, giving the field a measured, almost architectural cadence. Indigo blue sits beside faded red, ivory, sage, and charcoal, while the outer floral border adds a softer, more lyrical counterpoint. The surface shows visible fading and age-softened contrast, with gentle wear that quietens the design and deepens its character. Circa 1885 - 1900, this piece carries the graphic order and restrained ornament often seen in Mallayer weaving, translated here into a rug with evident history and a considered, atmospheric presence.
