Mallayer / 29777

This Mallayer antique rug measures 97 x 391 cm and presents a long, narrow field of repeating geometric medallions in softened teal, red, olive, and cream. Delicate floral borders and a finely worked outer frame hold the composition together, while the centre shows generous age and an easy, faded softness. Visible abrash and light wear temper the pattern without obscuring its structure, giving the surface a quietly seasoned feel. Circa 1900 - 1915, it is a nuanced example with a muted palette and a gently distressed finish that reads as grounded and enduring.
