Mallayer / 29788

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 16' 1" and presents a long, elegant field in deep blue, softened by brown, ivory, and muted gold detail. A repeating arrangement of floral medallions and geometric lozenges runs through the centre, while multiple borders add a finely layered frame. The surface shows gentle wear and a lived-in patina that lends depth without diminishing the pattern. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reflects the restrained richness and rhythmic ornament associated with the Mallayer tradition, with a quiet, textural character throughout. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
