Mallayer / 10295

The Mallayer is a wool rug anchored by a prominent central medallion and stacked cartouches in cream and white, set on warm red and brown grounds. Small floral sprays, palmettes and a multi-band floral border create a composed, heritage-aware geometry; pale highlights bring a delicate definition to motifs. Surface wear is low and the pile remains tactile, with subtle abrash that softens transitions between dyes. Measures 213 x 300 cm, this antique rug retains a measured, mellow patina that speaks to careful age. Circa 1880 - 1895. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
