Mallayer / 17231

This Mallayer antique rug measures 193 x 488 cm and presents a long, composed field of repeated geometric bands, enclosed by finely worked borders. The palette moves through brown, neutral, and gold, with washed blue-grey areas that temper the darker ground and lend a subdued rhythm to the surface. Wear is evenly visible, with softened detail, fading, and a gently aged edge character that speaks to use over time. Circa 1885 - 1920, it offers the grounded elegance and layered patina associated with an antique rug of this type. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
