Mallayer / 21591

This Mallayer antique rug measures 389 x 610 cm and carries an allover arrangement of repeating geometric medallions, set within a delicate series of floral borders. The palette is restrained and softened by age, with faded blue, blush red, ivory, taupe, and muted sage creating a layered, timeworn surface. Medium distress lends the rug a gently worn character, with tonal variation that enriches the field rather than diminishing it. Circa 1925 - 1945, it offers a measured balance of pattern, fade, and quiet visual rhythm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
