Mallayer / 28434

This Mallayer antique rug measures 163 x 348 cm and carries an allover field of scrolling paisley-like forms, softened into a weathered, textile-rich surface. A narrow border of geometric and floral motifs encloses the composition, while the palette settles into neutral, brown, white, and cream with muted blue-green and faded rose accents. Circa 1910 - 1925, it shows medium distress, with clear fading, gentle wear, and an aged character that gives the piece its grounded, timeworn presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
