Mallayer / 29856

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 389 cm and unfolds in a tall, slender format with a weathered teal field, cream detailing, and a finely drawn floral border. The design is structured yet fluid, with a repeating medallion-like arrangement and small-scale blossoms that soften the length of the composition. Faded tones, gentle abrasion, and a naturally aged surface give the rug depth and a calm, collected presence. Circa 1890 - 1910, it carries the layered ornament and tonal restraint characteristic of Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
