Mallayer / 19528

This Mallayer antique rug measures 335 x 399 cm and carries a layered field of weathered blue, rust red, cream, and muted brown. The composition centres on a large geometric medallion, surrounded by finely worked floral motifs and a structured border that still reads clearly through the softening of age. Medium distress is visible in the faded colour, tonal variation, and gently worn areas across the surface, lending the piece an understated, tactile character. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the quiet complexity and heritage feel associated with historic Mallayer weaving.
