Mallayer / 13449

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 7" x 6' 5", and it carries the layered character this weaving is known for. A richly patterned red field forms a large diamond medallion, while ivory corner spandrels bloom with scrolling floral vines and scattered colour. The border frames the composition with geometric rhythm and small rosettes, balancing structure and softness. Wool gives the surface a warm, tactile depth, and the low distress reads as age-softened rather than diminished. Circa 1920 - 1940, the design feels vivid, grounded, and quietly graphic. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
