Mallayer / 26568

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 384 cm, with a slender proportion that draws out its repeating pattern and softened border work. The field is organised around a vertical procession of medallion forms, set within floral outer borders and refined geometric guard borders. Its palette of ivory, cream, muted aqua, sage, and brown is mellowed by visible wear, fading, and tonal shifts that bring an understated, tactile presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as an antique rug with an honest surface and a quietly weathered finish. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
