Mallayer / 13062

This Mallayer antique rug measures 157 x 302 cm and offers the subdued elegance of age through its worn field and softened ornament. The design centres on a gently faded ground, enclosed by a finely worked border of geometric and floral motifs in brown, cream, white, and muted teal. Its wool surface shows medium distress, with visible abrasion and mellowing that enhance the rug’s layered, lived-in character. Circa 1900 - 1925, it presents the measured rhythm and visual restraint often associated with a Mallayer piece. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
