Mallayer / 28434

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 4" x 11' 5" and presents a layered field of scrolling paisley-like forms, softened by time into a richly worn composition. A restrained border of geometric and floral elements frames the piece, while the palette moves through neutral, brown, white, and cream with muted blue-green and faded rose notes. Circa 1910 - 1925, the surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and an aged, textural hand that speaks to decades of use and quiet refinement. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
