Mallayer / 32117

This Mallayer antique rug measures 203 x 391 cm and presents a long, restrained composition shaped by floral and geometric patterning. Neutral, white, cream, and brown tones dominate, with subtle notes of muted teal and faded charcoal lending softness to the surface. The border work remains readable along both sides, while the centre shows a more diffused, heavily worn field that feels layered and atmospheric. Circa 1900 - 1920, it has high distress, marked fading, and a gently thinned look that speaks to long use and an enduring woven character.
