Mallayer / 29788

This Mallayer antique rug measures 102 x 490 cm and carries a long, composed field in deep blue, balanced by brown, ivory, taupe, and muted gold notes. Repeating floral medallions and geometric lozenges articulate the centre, while the border work adds intricacy and definition along the length. The pile shows soft age wear and a mellow, well-kept surface that gives the design added nuance. Circa 1910 - 1930, it captures the disciplined patterning and heritage feel of the Mallayer tradition in a distinctly elongated format. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
