Mallayer / 24248

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 589 cm and presents a long, gracefully worn field of floral ornament softened by age. Repeating rosettes, scrolling vines, and a refined border structure the composition, while the central expanse shows broad fading that gives the design a hushed, atmospheric quality. Cream, ivory, muted red, soft sage, and pale rose tones sit in gentle balance across the surface. Circa 1885 - 1900, this antique rug reflects the understated character and elongated format often found in Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
