Mallayer / 15545

This Mallayer antique rug measures 104 x 409 cm and unfolds in a strong red field, animated by a continuous zigzag medallion chain and fine floral ornament across the long centre. Slim borders in ivory, beige, and muted brown add structure, while the outer guard brings a delicate foliate cadence to the composition. The wool pile shows low distress, with visible softening and subtle age wear that enrich the surface rather than obscuring it. Circa 1910 - 1935, it reflects the restrained character and enduring pattern language associated with an antique rug.
