mallayer / 29859

This Mallayer antique rug, 97 x 495 cm, unfolds in a long, narrow format with a faded floral field and an allover medallion-and-vine rhythm softened by time. The border remains faintly legible, framing the composition without interrupting its calm, weathered surface. Neutral, brown, grey, and muted teal notes sit beneath a veil of age, creating a restrained palette with subtle tonal variation. Medium distress lends visible character and softened contrast throughout. Circa 1910 - 1925, this Mallayer piece offers the patina, tactility, and quiet structure of an antique rug shaped by years of use.
