Mallayer / 26635

This Mallayer antique rug measures 109 x 381 cm and offers a long, lyrical field in softened neutral shades, lifted by rust and terracotta geometric forms. A sequence of nested borders and a wider outer border introduce floral and angular detail, giving the composition a measured rhythm. The surface shows medium distress, with gentle fading, worn areas, and a time-softened character throughout. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the composed patterning and warm, weathered tone often associated with a finely aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
