Mallayer / 17408

This Mallayer antique rug measures 208 x 500 cm and unfolds in wool with a composed, elongated patterning. A teal-blue ground is worked with small-scale floral motifs, while a stepped central medallion in cream and ivory creates a calm centre within the broader field. The surrounding border layers warm tan, soft brown, and muted rose accents, giving the piece a balanced, heritage-led character. Medium distress is visible in the softened pile and gentle fading, which lend the surface its patina. Circa 1905 - 1920, it reflects the measured detail and worn elegance associated with an antique Mallayer rug.
