Mallayer / 22528

This Mallayer antique rug measures 239 x 511 cm and shows a long, balanced composition tempered by age. The field is organised with repeating geometric motifs and medallion-like repeats, framed by a narrow floral border that still reads clearly against the softened ground. Browns, taupes, ivory, muted navy, and faded red create a muted, earthy palette with subtle cool accents. Moderate wear, abrash-like variation, and gentle fading give the surface depth and quiet movement. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reflects the composed patterning and worn elegance often seen in an antique rug of this type.
