Mallayer / 24274

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 226 x 483 cm, presents a quietly weathered composition in ivory, cream, beige, and faded brown. A delicate floral field sits beneath layers of worn patina, while the border retains a gentler clarity, giving the whole surface a softly aged balance. The high distress reads as part of its visual language, with broad fading and muted contrast that lend depth without heaviness. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the disciplined ornament and subdued palette associated with Mallayer weaving, refined by time into something understated and tactile.
