Mallayer / 24192

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 4' 9" x 8' 8", carries a layered sense of age and restraint. Its long field is organized around a stepped central medallion, with floral sprays and angular ornament unfolding in faded blue, muted coral, cream, and brown. The border frames the composition with a quieter, more linear rhythm, while the softened surface gives the whole piece a calm, weathered character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the expressive balance and decorative detail associated with Mallayer weaving, translated here through visible wear and a subdued, heritage-rich palette.
