Mallayer / 16938

This Mallayer antique rug measures 292 x 508 cm and offers a gently faded composition of floral forms, enclosed by an understated inner frame and botanical border. Woven in wool, the surface is grounded in ivory, cream and beige, with subtle taupe, blush and brown tones softened by age. The allover pattern reads with quiet clarity through areas of notable wear, creating a layered, timeworn presence. Circa 1895 - 1930, it reflects the poised design language often seen in Mallayer rugs, where high distress and softened contrast become part of the visual character.
