Mallayer / 17816

This Mallayer antique rug measures 211 x 490 cm and presents a softly aged surface in faded blue, cream, and warm neutral tones, with rust and brown notes woven through the pattern. The field is filled with small-scale floral and geometric motifs, held by a narrow border that remains legible despite the overall wear. Wool gives the rug a tactile depth, while its medium distress level adds a gentle, timeworn softness. Circa 1910 - 1930, it has the quiet density and layered ornament associated with a well-worn Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
