Mallayer / 29948

This Mallayer antique rug measures 89 x 378 cm and shows a long, balanced field of geometric floral motifs, relaxed by time into a nuanced, weathered surface. Brown, cream, white, taupe, muted rust, and soft teal create a grounded palette, while the border and guard stripes hold the composition in clear, linear order. The drawing is softened rather than crisp, giving the rug a layered, lived-in character. Circa 1920 - 1935, it reflects medium distress, visible fading, and subtle abrash that lend depth to the woven image. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
