Mallayer / 29912

This Mallayer antique rug measures 86 x 465 cm and unfolds in a long, narrow format with an allover field of floral and geometric forms. Teal and deep blue patterning sits against an ivory, beige, and soft grey ground, creating a layered surface with a restrained border framing the composition. Medium distress is visible throughout, with softened detail, fading, and worn areas that lend a sense of age without losing structure. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the quiet, timeworn character that defines an antique rug of this type. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
