Mallayer / 24287

This Mallayer antique rug measures 109 x 505 cm and unfolds in a long, elegant format with a dense field of floral geometry and repeating medallion forms. The palette moves between muted blue, cream, brown, tan, and softened rust, with gentle fading that brings the drawing into focus. A finely worked border in floral motifs and slim guard bands contains the composition, while the surface shows low distress and a mellowed hand. The result is layered, measured, and tactile. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
