This Mallayer antique rug measures 97 x 211 cm and offers a tall, narrow proportion with a calm, time-softened surface. The composition pairs a rust red ground with cream, pale teal, and muted brown accents, while the border work brings forward repeating floral and geometric motifs in layered bands. Its low distress and gentle fading create a mellow, lived-in read, allowing the pattern to sit with quiet ease. Circa 1900 - 1920, this Mallayer carries the composed detail and understated colour movement that define the style. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
