Mallayer / 19583

This Mallayer antique rug measures 343 x 701 cm and offers a long, grounded composition with an allover field of floral medallions against a dark ground. Ivory, cream, taupe, muted rose, and soft gold tones create a faded, layered palette that reads softly across the surface. The design is held within a detailed floral border and slim guard borders, adding structure to the busy centre. Circa 1880 - 1900, this wool rug shows medium distress, with visible wear and tonal variation that enhance its timeworn character without obscuring the pattern.
