Mallayer / 26632

This Mallayer antique rug measures 97 x 411 cm, with a slender proportion and a surface shaped by time into a softened, textural composition. Repeating geometric medallions extend through the field, held within stepped outlines and a detailed border of angular vine and linear motifs. Cream, brown, and muted grey-brown notes create a calm, weathered palette that reads with quiet balance. Medium distress is visible throughout, with fading in the centre and softened wear that temper the pattern while preserving its cadence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it offers the considered character of an antique rug.
