Mallayer / 31207

This Mallayer antique rug measures 94 x 516 cm and presents a long, slender composition built from repeated diamond medallions, floral tracery, and compact geometric details. Cream, taupe, faded teal, warm brown, and soft terracotta are softened by age, creating a restrained palette with a worn, harmonious surface. A narrow, patterned border holds the design in place, while the medium distress adds visual depth and a gently faded hand. Circa 1885 - 1900, this piece reflects the quiet intricacy and heritage character associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
