Mallayer / 31045

This Mallayer antique rug measures 102 x 460 cm and unfolds in a long, ordered composition of repeating geometric blossoms within a layered border framework. Warm brown, rust, ivory, and muted grey tones have faded into a nuanced, timeworn surface, with visible wear lending softness to the design. The field reads as rhythmic and finely scaled, while the borders provide a measured edge to the elongated format. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the quiet restraint and worn elegance often associated with a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
