Mallayer / 19202

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 13' 2" and presents a long, restrained field in layered blue and cream tones. The composition centres on a repeated medallion-and-floral lattice, framed by narrow borders that keep the design elegant and linear. Soft fading, visible wear, and a gently timeworn surface lend the piece a quiet depth, while the palette retains a cool, atmospheric balance. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the decorative discipline and subtle colour movement associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
