Mallayer / 22674

This Mallayer antique rug measures 206 x 511 cm, with a tall, narrow proportion and a muted palette of blue, ivory, taupe, and brown. The composition centres on an elongated medallion field, framed by an intricate border and subtle floral details that emerge through the softened ground. Medium wear has produced an even, timeworn finish, with visible fading and abrasion that lend the rug a calm, layered presence. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the restrained elegance and lived-in texture associated with an antique rug of this type. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
