Mallayer / 22235

This Mallayer antique rug measures 196 x 353 cm and presents a calm palette of cream, beige, brown, and muted blue. The composition centres on an elongated medallion, framed by floral latticework, restrained corner spandrels, and a narrow border with repeated ornament. Its surface has softened with age, allowing the drawing to feel airy rather than sharp. Circa 1900 - 1935, the rug shows medium distress, with visible fading, worn character, and a patina that speaks to long use and gentle preservation. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
