Mallayer / 24298

This Mallayer antique rug measures 221 x 556 cm, with a long, narrow field that carries a softened central medallion and layered border detail from end to end. The colour story settles into warm white, cream, taupe and brown, with muted rust notes emerging through the wear. Its surface shows pronounced fading and abrasion, so the pattern appears in softened, atmospheric layers rather than crisp outlines. Circa 1905 - 1920, it has the quiet patina and aged character associated with an antique rug, while the border and field remain sufficiently intact to preserve the rug’s elegant linear composition.
