Mallayer / 21597

This Mallayer antique rug measures 185 x 480 cm and presents a refined, timeworn composition in soft beige, muted brown, faded blue, and dusty rose. The elongated central medallion is set within a densely worked field of geometric and floral forms, while the surrounding border keeps a clearer, more architectural line. Surface wear has softened the contrast across the centre, giving the rug a calm, weathered presence. Circa 1900 - 1940, it offers the balanced patterning and subdued palette that define the Mallayer category. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
