Mallayer / 16120

This Mallayer antique rug measures 264 x 363 cm and brings a softened, timeworn character in wool. The palette settles into cream and neutral shades, with brown, rust, and quiet touches of blue and charcoal lifted by extensive wear. A narrow border still outlines the composition, while the interior pattern reads as an allover floral field, gently faded and partially dissolved. Circa 1900 - 1920, the rug shows high distress, an aged surface, and a mellowed patina that lends the design a hushed, tactile quality. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
