Mallayer / 14949

This Mallayer antique rug measures 152 x 190 cm and carries a restrained, time-softened presence through its tree-of-life field, stepped internal bands, and intricate border composition. Woven in wool, the palette settles into warm ivory, faded red, brown, and muted rust, with gentle tonal variation throughout. The central design reads clearly, yet the surface wear has relaxed the pattern and given the whole piece a quieter, more atmospheric feel. The framing borders remain legible, with floral and angular details still tracing the edge. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
