Mallayer / 17684

This Mallayer antique rug measures 201 x 290 cm and has the softened, lived-in character that comes with age. Its wool surface presents an allover lattice of small geometric motifs, washed in faded blue against a neutral cream ground, with a delicate border of scrolling ornament framing the composition. High distress has muted the contrast and left the design gently diffused, allowing the texture to read with quiet richness. Circa 1900 - 1915, it captures the understated refinement and visual wear often found in antique Mallayer rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
