Mallayer / 19728

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 0" x 6' 3" and presents a layered field of paisleys and floral scatter in deep indigo, coral pink, ivory, and sage green. The composition is framed by a lively border system in blue and rose, with small rosettes and geometric accents that keep the surface animated from edge to centre. The wool pile shows gentle wear and softened colour, lending the piece an aged, tactile presence without losing clarity. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reads as both structured and expressive, with a field pattern that feels richly worked and visually grounded.
