Mallayer / 24246

This Mallayer antique rug measures 188 x 503 cm and has a long, narrow proportion shaped by time and use. Its field is worked in layered geometric and floral motifs, set within a restrained border and softened by an earthy palette of brown, cream, beige, and grey. Medium distress is visible across the surface, with fading, abrasion, and worn edges that lend the piece a dry, understated tactility. Circa 1920 - 1935, the design feels quietly complex, with pattern and patina held in balance rather than sharp contrast. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
