Mallayer / 24648

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 157 x 290 cm, unfolds in a muted field of geometric motifs, framed by a slender floral border and multiple lines of enclosure. The palette of blue, cream, ivory, and neutral grey is softened by age, allowing the pattern to read as layered and atmospheric rather than sharp. Circa 1910 - 1925, it shows medium distress, with visible fading and a gently worn surface that lends the rug a settled, heritage-rich character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
