Mallayer / 31381

This Mallayer antique rug measures 196 x 404 cm and is defined by a densely worked field of scrolling florals, enclosed by a broad red border with repeating palmette and foliate motifs. Indigo, rust red, ivory, camel, and muted sage create a subdued but intricate palette, with the surface showing gentle fading that softens the pattern’s edges. The elongated proportion allows the design to unfold in a calm, continuous rhythm, while visible wear lends an authentic, timeworn presence. Circa 1880 - 1910, it carries the layered elegance and decorative clarity often associated with Mallayer weaving.
