Mallayer / 13195

This Mallayer antique rug measures 183 x 328 cm and presents a finely patterned field of small floral and geometric motifs organised around three stacked diamond medallions in deep navy. The palette combines sage, cream, pale blue, warm beige, and charcoal, lending the surface a calm, nuanced character. A slender botanical border closes the composition with understated balance, while the medium distress gives the drawing a softened, settled appearance. Circa 1885 - 1900, this wool rug reflects the disciplined ornament and quiet sophistication often seen in Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
