Mallayer / 20873

This Mallayer antique rug measures 109 x 173 cm and balances a patterned central field of repeating mihrab-like forms with a narrow red inner border and an expressive floral vine outer border on blue. Woven in wool, it carries a low level of distress, with gentle wear and softened colour that enhance its tactile, heritage feel. Muted brown, rust, ivory, and taupe accents sit against the dusty blue ground, giving the composition a settled, nuanced presence. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
