Mallayer / 28841

This Mallayer antique rug measures 183 x 318 cm and presents a grounded geometric field of repeating diamonds within a detailed floral border. Neutral brown, cream, white, and muted blue-green are lifted by rust notes, while the medium distress creates a softened, weathered surface with generous tonal variation. The centre is broadly faded, allowing the drawing to read in layers rather than in full clarity. Circa 1900 - 1920, it offers the restrained rhythm and tactile age that define an antique rug with presence and ease. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
