Mallayer / 22333

This Mallayer antique rug measures 206 x 343 cm and carries a settled, time-softened presence. The composition centres on a large angular medallion set within an allover field of geometric and floral ornament, drawn in faded blue, cream, taupe, soft gold, and pale green. Narrow borders frame the design with fine, worn detail, while the medium distress lends the surface a gently abraded, matte finish. The softened palette and faded patterning suggest age without losing definition. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the balanced intricacy and tonal subtlety often associated with Mallayer weavings.
