Mallayer / 31057

This Mallayer antique rug measures 94 x 356 cm and presents a long, refined composition in cream, taupe, and muted blue-grey. The central field is filled with repeating scalloped botanical motifs, set within narrow geometric borders and a faded outer frame that gives the piece a calm, layered presence. Medium distress is visible throughout, with softened contrast, gentle abrasion, and a naturally worn finish that enriches its surface. Circa 1895 - 1910, it offers the quiet depth and measured ornament typical of Mallayer weaving, with age and pattern held in fine balance.
