Mallayer / 15934

This Mallayer antique rug in wool measures 198 x 389 cm and has a mellow, timeworn character. An allover lattice of floral and geometric motifs fills the field, while a narrow border offers a quiet frame around the composition. Brown, cream, white, and neutral tones have softened into a faded, harmonious palette, with medium wear that adds depth to the surface rather than distraction. Circa 1900 - 1915, it speaks to the restrained elegance often found in Mallayer rugs, where pattern, colour, and age remain closely balanced. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
