Mallayer / 23066

This Mallayer antique rug measures 91 x 460 cm and presents a long, refined field of small floral motifs, softened by age and handled wear. The sage green ground is framed by rust red borders with cream and brown accents, giving the composition a muted, heritage-rich balance. Medium distress has mellowed the pattern and deepened the surface character, while the narrow border structure keeps the design crisp. Circa 1885 - 1900, it feels quiet and composed, with the elongated format and repeating ornament associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
