Mallayer / 28465

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 12' 3" and presents a long, disciplined field of repeating geometric medallions framed by a warm red border. The teal-blue ground holds stylised floral and vine forms in blush, ivory, soft gold, and muted brown, creating a rhythm that feels both structured and fluid. Wear has softened the surface, lending the drawing a gentle, timeworn calm without obscuring the pattern. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the quiet balance and character that define the Mallayer tradition, with a refined palette and subtle distress that deepen its visual presence.
