Mallayer / 16294

This Mallayer antique rug measures 269 x 467 cm, with a sun-softened palette of white, cream, neutral brown, and muted grey that feels layered and calm. Its field is arranged in an all-over pattern that resolves into a worn medallion presence, enclosed by fine borders and a floral outer band with traces of geometric detail. Wool gives the surface a tactile, quietly matte quality, while high distress brings visible fading, abrasion, and softened edges. Circa 1910 - 1930, it reflects the nuanced age and understated decorative language often found in an antique rug of this kind.
