Mallayer / 31996

This Mallayer antique rug measures 109 x 460 cm and carries a long, tapering composition filled with floral latticework, palmettes, and rosettes framed by narrow borders. Neutrals, brown, green, teal blue, and softened terracotta create a layered, weathered palette that feels calm yet richly worked. Medium distress is visible throughout, with fading, abrash, and softened detail that lend the surface a quietly timeworn character. Circa 1920 - 1935, it offers the measured ornament and worn softness that define the appeal of a Mallayer antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
