Mallayer / 26625

This Mallayer antique rug measures 107 x 480 cm and presents a slender, architectural silhouette with a subdued, aged elegance. The field is drawn in faded teal and indigo tones, patterned with repeating geometric floral motifs and a disciplined central rhythm. Around it, narrow borders in rust, brown, ivory, and muted gold add structure and contrast. Circa 1880 - 1895, the surface carries clear wear, softened colour, and an irregular, honest patina that enhances its layered, collected character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
