Mallayer / 31189

This Mallayer antique rug measures 175 x 348 cm and presents a restrained palette of neutral beige, brown, muted teal, and ivory. Its allover floral field is visibly faded, with a softened central rhythm and a narrow border that remains just readable at the edges. The high-distress surface gives the design a washed, atmospheric quality, where pattern and ground merge into one another. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the quiet depth and worn refinement often sought in a Mallayer rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
