mallayer / 29873

This mallayer antique rug measures 3' 6" x 13' 3" and carries a softened, timeworn palette of ivory, taupe, beige, warm grey, and charcoal. The elongated field is filled with repeating floral and geometric forms, framed by narrow floral borders that read with quiet symmetry despite the visible wear. Its distressed surface, muted contrast, and faded passages give the piece a calm, layered presence. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the character of an antique rug that has aged into an elegant, textural statement, with a balanced composition and subtle abrasion throughout.
