Mallayer / 24668

This Mallayer antique rug measures 104 x 503 cm and presents a long, slender composition built from repeating medallion and floral panels, enclosed by layered borders with small geometric and star-like motifs. The neutral, brown, white, and cream palette reads softly across the worn surface, where age has subdued the contrast without erasing the pattern. With medium distress and a visibly softened finish, the rug has a dry, tactile character that feels measured rather than severe. Circa 1900 - 1920, it holds the quiet balance and decorative restraint that define this Mallayer weave, allowing the ornament to unfold in a steady, linear cadence.
