Mallayer / 24240

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 356 cm and presents a tall, narrow format with a composed, timeworn presence. Its field is built from stacked geometric medallion shapes, floral repeats, and a finely bordered frame that keeps the design tightly ordered from end to end. Brown, neutral, white, cream, and muted blue notes settle into a faded, softly abraded surface with medium distress and subtle edge character. Circa 1885 - 1915, it offers the layered ornament and restrained colour balance that distinguish a well-aged Mallayer antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
