Mallayer / 31482

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 7" x 5' 10" and carries a richly layered field of geometric medallions, stylised figures, and small-scale ornament set against deep navy. The border work reads in pale blue, cream, and beige, softening the composition with a quiet, timeworn clarity. Low distress leaves the drawing legible while subtle wear and fading lend a grounded patina. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the density and rhythm associated with Mallayer weaving, balancing detail with an inviting, weathered surface. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
