Mallayer / 29882

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 478 cm, with a long, elegant field worked in faded teal, sage, ivory, and taupe. The design unfolds through softened floral medallions and arabesque motifs, with narrow borders that remain visible despite the gentle erosion of the surface. Darker sections punctuate the lighter ground, creating contrast and a sense of depth across the length. Circa 1925 - 1940, it shows the calm wear and tonal variation of age, with medium distress that gives the rug an assured, lived-in presence while preserving its patterned movement.
