Mallayer / 29847

This Mallayer antique rug measures 127 x 185 cm, with a structured field of repeating oval motifs arranged across a blue ground and enclosed by floral borders. Brown, rust, ivory, and faded teal tones move across the surface in a way that feels balanced, layered, and gently timeworn. Low distress preserves the clarity of the drawing while allowing the pile and colour to read with a soft, settled patina. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the poised ornament and subtle wear often found in this origin, with an easy visual cadence from border to centre.
