Mallayer / 29878

This Mallayer antique rug measures 81 x 457 cm and presents a long, narrow composition organised around repeating floral medallions, slim borders, and patterned side guards. Its palette of faded teal, brown, taupe, ivory, and muted green is gently dispersed across the field, allowing the worn surface to read as layered and tactile rather than flat. Circa 1900 - 1915, it shows the softened contrast, visible ageing, and medium distress that lend character to an antique rug while keeping the underlying geometry clear. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
