mallayer / 29794

This Mallayer antique rug measures 102 x 498 cm and presents a long, narrow composition in weathered blue, brown, ivory, blush, rust, and taupe. Repeating medallions settle across the field in a Herati-inspired rhythm, while the border remains finely worked and clearly defined. The antique rug shows low distress, with visible fading, gentle abrasion, and softened edges that add patina without obscuring the design. Its surface feels layered and tactile, with the kind of age that deepens the palette rather than diminishing it. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
