Mallayer / 17780

This Mallayer antique rug measures 206 x 475 cm and presents a restrained allover field of petite geometric and floral motifs, enclosed by multiple narrow borders with repeating details. The wool palette sits in neutral, brown, white, and cream, with pronounced fading that mutes the pattern and creates a soft, timeworn surface. Circa 1890 - 1920, it reflects the quiet intricacy associated with Mallayer weaving, while the visible distress brings a layered, tactile quality that feels measured rather than formal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
