Mallayer / 24262

This Mallayer antique rug measures 8' 2" x 9' 2" and carries a softly worn field of repeating geometric motifs beneath a washed, luminous surface. The composition is anchored by a red floral border with pale medallion accents, while the centre blends cream, white, faded blue, and muted rust into a weathered, layered pattern. Medium distress has softened the contrasts and given the rug an easy, lived-in depth. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the restrained ornament and gentle irregularity that make antique rug design feel so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
