This Mallayer antique rug, 127 x 201 cm, presents a repeating field of arched medallions in teal, rust, taupe, and ivory, held within a slender patterned border. The composition feels orderly yet softened by age, with worn highlights and fading that temper the contrast across the surface. Circa 1920 - 1940, it speaks to the grounded elegance often seen in Mallayer rugs, where ornament, colour, and wear settle into a balanced whole. With medium distress and an aged, slightly muted finish, the rug offers a tactile, heritage-led presence that remains clear in its design language.
