Mallayer / 26489

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 406 x 808 cm, presents a softly faded field in cream and white, threaded with pale blue, muted navy, and restrained touches of rust and beige. The design suggests an allover layout of medallion remnants, stepped geometric forms, and a detailed border that remains legible through the wear. Circa 1880 - 1900, the rug has a hushed, weathered presence, with high distress that softens the drawing and creates a layered, almost translucent surface. It is a study in tonal nuance and age, where the original pattern persists beneath the fade.
