Mallayer / 23069

This Mallayer antique rug measures 112 x 460 cm and shows an elongated field worked with geometric medallions, small floral forms, and a measured border in washed blue-grey, cream, brown, and rust tones. The design is orderly but not rigid, with repeated motifs that create a steady visual cadence from end to end. Medium distress has softened the outlines and muted the palette, lending the surface a calm, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the grounded clarity often associated with Mallayer weaving, where pattern, wear, and colour settle into an understated, heritage-rich whole.
