Mallayer / 17618

This Mallayer antique rug measures 318 x 411 cm and carries a refined allover arrangement of palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling floral details within a narrow, layered border. Wool in cream, muted blue, taupe, and brown lends the piece a softened, heritage feel, while the pattern remains legible through its age-earned wear. The field has a calm, weathered presence with medium distress and subtle fading that enrich the surface rather than flatten it. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the grounded character and decorative restraint associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
