Mallayer / 31997

This Mallayer antique rug measures 99 x 503 cm and carries a long, slender format with an understated, weathered presence. The design moves through an allover field of geometric, medallion-like motifs, bordered by angular floral elements that remain visible beneath the softened pile. Its neutral, white, cream, and brown tones have faded into a nuanced, aged palette, with high distress creating a quietly abrased surface and muted contrast. Circa 1900 - 1915, this rug reads with the depth and softness that come from extensive wear, while retaining the structure of its original pattern.
