Mallayer / 25378

This Mallayer antique rug measures 246 x 566 cm and carries a heavily softened allover pattern, with floral and medallion-like forms dispersed beneath a worn, pale surface. White, cream, neutral taupe, and muted blue remain visible across the composition, while the border sections retain fragments of the original geometry. The overall effect is weathered, airy, and quietly detailed, with pronounced loss that lends the rug a sculptural presence. Circa 1890 - 1910, it reflects the depth and quiet elegance often associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
