Mallayer / 28940

This Mallayer antique rug, 356 x 577 cm, is composed with an allover floral field that has softened over time into a palette of teal, brown, taupe, and ivory. The pattern remains gently readable, with small repeating blossoms across the centre and a slender floral border that holds the composition together. High distress is visible in the faded colour, worn surface, and nuanced variation across the field. Circa 1905 - 1920, it carries the quiet depth and time-worn presence characteristic of a heritage Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
