Mallayer / 22316

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 91 x 490 cm, unfolds in a slender format with a richly worked field of floral geometry in deep blue, ivory, muted sage, and warm rust accents. Repeating medallion forms and angular botanical details create a steady rhythm from end to end, while the border remains comparatively understated and refined. The pile shows notable age, with fading, wear, and softened colour throughout, lending the rug a quiet, timeworn presence. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the layered character and decorative balance associated with an antique rug of this type.
