Mallayer / 25497

This Mallayer antique rug measures 122 x 318 cm and shows a slender, architectural composition in deep blue, green, and softened neutral tones. The central field is filled with a scrolling floral lattice and repeating shield-like motifs, all enclosed by a finely drawn border with geometric and floral detail. Medium distress has softened the contrasts and created a calm, timeworn surface with visible abrasion and gentle edge wear. Circa 1905 - 1920, it reflects the layered character and faded refinement often found in an antique rug of this type. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
