Mallayer / 24262

This Mallayer antique rug measures 249 x 279 cm and presents a quietly faded field of repeating geometric motifs beneath a pale, timeworn finish. A red floral border frames the composition, while the centre moves through cream, white, muted blue, and softened rust tones with a finely weathered character. Medium distress has blurred the drawing in places, allowing the surface to read as layered and atmospheric rather than sharp. Circa 1895 - 1910, it captures the balanced ornament and worn elegance often associated with an antique rug of this type.
