Mallayer / 26587

This Mallayer antique rug measures 368 x 622 cm and presents an allover paisley ground softened by age into a calm, tonal field. Faded aqua, ivory, taupe, muted olive, and dusty rose drift across the surface, while the floral border remains visible in a subdued, weathered register. High distress has left pronounced wear, softened outlines, and gentle colour variation throughout, lending the rug an etched, time-softened quality. Circa 1910 - 1940, it reflects the understated rhythm and faded ornament typical of a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
