Mallayer / 21735

This Mallayer antique rug measures 198 x 478 cm and shows a long, narrow composition in brown, neutral, cream, and white, with muted blue and olive notes dispersed through the field. A faded central medallion sits within an allover floral lattice, while the surrounding borders carry smaller repeating motifs that remain legible beneath the wear. The surface has medium distress, with softened contrast, visible fading, and a patinated character that gives the piece its depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it speaks to the layered, lived-in refinement of the Mallayer tradition.
