Mallayer / 31187

This Mallayer antique rug measures 102 x 538 cm and unfolds in a long, narrow format with a dark vertical chain of medallion panels against a softened cream ground. A restrained floral border and slim side bands provide structure, while faded blue, white, and neutral tones create a layered, gently worn appearance. Circa 1900 - 1915, the rug carries medium distress, with visible fading and abrasion that blur the ornament into a calm, textural surface. Its aged character and elongated composition feel balanced, distinctive, and quietly grounded. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
