Mallayer / 31996

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 7" x 15' 1" and presents an elongated field of layered floral medallions, palmettes, and rosettes within a restrained border system. The palette moves through teal blue, sage, brown, ivory, and muted terracotta, with the design softened by even wear and atmospheric fading. Its surface carries a lived-in, tactile depth that lets the pattern read as both structured and gently dissolved. Circa 1920 - 1935, it reflects the grounded elegance and nuanced colour play associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
