Mallayer / 28656

This Mallayer antique rug, 150 x 340 cm, presents a muted palette of cream, beige, taupe, and brown, with softened olive and charcoal notes worked into the worn field. Floral and vine ornament sits beneath a broadly faded surface, framed by a border that remains legible but gently eroded. The effect is layered, atmospheric, and grounded in age, with the high distress giving the pattern a washed, almost painterly quality. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the refined wear and depth often sought in a Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
