Mallayer / 24229

This Mallayer antique rug measures 140 x 323 cm and presents a calm, time-softened composition. The field is organised with stepped geometric motifs and fine leafy details, bordered by slender floral bands that hold the design with quiet structure. Its palette of neutral tones, brown, white, cream, and muted blue-red is softened by age, creating a faded, tactile surface with low distress and gentle edge character. Circa 1915 - 1930, it shows the grounded, heritage-led language often associated with Mallayer rugs, balancing pattern, restraint, and an understated, lived-in atmosphere. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
