Mallayer / 29799

This Mallayer antique rug measures 89 x 373 cm and carries a long, narrow composition in muted red, cream, and soft neutral shades. The field is patterned with repeating geometric elements, while the border system layers floral and scrolling details for a balanced, collected look. Medium distress, surface fading, and gentle abrash create a worn patina that feels authentic and visually rich. Circa 1875 - 1890, it has an understated presence, with the faded colour and refined pattern language working together in a calm, heritage-led composition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
