Mallayer / 23133

This Mallayer antique rug measures 201 x 391 cm and presents a restrained palette of cream, ivory, beige, and muted brown. Its composition is softened by age, with an allover field that has gently worn into abstraction and a border that still carries floral and geometric tracing. High distress gives the surface a faded, layered character, with visible abrasion and washed areas that mellow the pattern rather than obscure it. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reads as quiet and weathered, an antique rug shaped by time, texture, and a muted sense of refinement.
