Mallayer / 24183

This Mallayer antique rug measures 216 x 498 cm and presents a long, gently weathered field in muted rust, cream, and warm beige. Its allover floral pattern has faded into a calm, softened register, while the pale border provides a clear frame and a lighter visual edge. Medium wear is visible across the surface, with abrasion and tonal softening that bring out the rug’s patina and layered texture. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the understated character of a Mallayer with a grounded, heritage-led presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
