Mallayer / 22790

This Mallayer antique rug measures 12' 0" x 23' 1" and presents a richly layered field of floral and geometric motifs softened by age. The composition unfolds in a deep, dark ground with cream, brown, and muted colour accents, while the border carries a quieter floral cadence that frames the design with balance. Sections of fading and abrasion lend a washed, atmospheric character without losing the rug's intricate patterning. Circa 1940 - 1955, it reflects the expressive ornament and lived-in surface that define a well-travelled Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
