Mallayer / 32057

This Mallayer antique rug measures 104 x 503 cm, with a long, slender format that gives its repeating medallions and border ornament a strong vertical rhythm. The field combines softened blue tones with red-brown, ivory, and neutral notes, producing a gently faded surface with layered visual depth. Floral rosettes, geometric links, and scrolling vine forms are worked throughout, while the border brings a more defined frame in warmer hues. Medium distress and visible age-related wear lend the rug a grounded, collected character. Circa 1910 - 1925. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
