Mallayer / 24247

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 597 cm and has an elongated, quietly weathered character. Its field is filled with dense floral ornament, scrolling vines, and small repeating motifs in muted red, cream, white, and brown, all framed by a detailed border that keeps the composition ordered. The surface shows clear age, with noticeable fading and worn areas that soften the contrast and lend a pale, tactile quality across the centre. Circa 1885 - 1900, this piece reflects the familiar depth and ornament of Mallayer weaving while preserving a restrained, lived-in elegance.
