Mallayer / 11217

This Mallayer in wool is an antique rug of considered restraint, its 221 x 290 cm field composed of repeating palmettes and a gently banded ground. Brown and gold notes punctuate a predominantly neutral palette, the colour quietly aged to a warm, layered tone. Narrow floral guard borders retain pattern despite medium wear, and bands of abrash move across the surface like time-marked strata. Circa 1900 - 1915. The overall effect is tactile and heritage-aware, a piece that reveals its making through softened detail and measured patination. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
