Mallayer / 22351

This Mallayer antique rug measures 190 x 310 cm, with a muted ground of neutral, white, cream, and brown, lifted by traces of faded blue. The design unfolds in an allover geometric arrangement, framed by a narrow inner border and a broader outer border that remains delicately drawn. Medium distress gives the surface a softened, timeworn presence, with visible fading and gentle wear across the field. Circa 1935 - 1955, it offers the layered character and understatement that define an antique rug with presence and restraint. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
