Mallayer / 14954

This Mallayer antique rug measures 251 x 518 cm and offers a long, architectural composition softened by age. The field is organised around a central diamond medallion and a dense lattice of floral and geometric details, with narrow borders that hold the design in quiet balance. Woven in wool, the surface carries visible wear, muted contrast, and a gently distressed finish that enriches its character. Circa 1880 - 1895, it captures the refined irregularity and layered ornament typical of Mallayer weaving, with a palette that feels weathered, warm, and enduring.
