This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 6' 11" and presents a long, slender format with a softly worn presence. A rust red field is layered with pale teal, cream, and muted brown ornament, while the surrounding borders carry repeating geometric and floral motifs that feel balanced and restrained. The design reads with quiet clarity despite its age, with gentle fading that softens the contrast and lends warmth throughout. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the refined character and subtle colour play often associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
