Mallayer / 33018

This Mallayer antique rug measures 94 x 391 cm, with a long, narrow proportion and a heavily worn surface that softens the design into colour and texture. Faded medallion forms, floral fragments, and a delicate border read through layers of cream, white, brown, and muted rust. The overall effect is gentle and aged, with strong distress, tonal variation, and a quiet patina across the field. Circa 1910 - 1925, it reflects the hushed character and faded ornament associated with a seasoned Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
