Mallayer / 16377

This Mallayer antique rug measures 226 x 615 cm and carries a long, disciplined composition softened by time. The wool field is worked in faded red, cream, white, and muted teal tones, with a fine floral border that lends structure at the edges. The allover pattern remains legible but gently worn, allowing the surface to read as textured and atmospheric rather than crisp. Circa 1915 - 1935, it shows medium distress, tonal variation, and a quiet patina that speaks to years of use and careful ageing. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
