Mallayer / 25356

This Mallayer antique rug measures 137 x 300 cm and offers a finely worked, time-softened composition of geometric patterning and floral detail. The central field is dense and orderly, then framed by layered borders that bring structure through diamonds, vines, and small repeating motifs. Cream, muted blue, taupe, camel, and soft rust create a restrained palette with a faded, heritage-worn clarity. Circa 1885 - 1900, the surface shows medium wear and softened contrast, giving the rug an aged, tactile presence that feels balanced and quietly composed. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
