Mallayer / 24671

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 2" x 16' 2" and presents a long, elegant format with a vivid blue field set against softened cream and neutral borders. Floral-geometric motifs repeat across the centre, while the surrounding bands hold a denser, more reserved rhythm. The surface shows low distress, with visible wear and age-softened colour that lends depth without obscuring the drawing. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the layered, time-worn character that gives Mallayer rugs their quiet presence and visual complexity. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
