Mallayer / 14403

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 206 x 300 cm, offers a carefully balanced field of geometric florals and lattice motifs in brown, cream, ivory, and warm neutral shades. A narrow scrolling border and inner guard bands define the composition, lending structure to the softened allover pattern. The surface shows medium wear, with visible fading and gently aged edges that speak to long use and a quietly weathered hand. Circa 1900 - 1920, this wool rug carries the dense ornament and subdued palette often associated with the Mallayer tradition, resulting in a piece that feels settled, tactile, and historically nuanced.
