Mallayer / 18338

This Mallayer antique rug measures 196 x 399 cm and offers a tall, refined composition built around a central diamond medallion and finely drawn borders. Woven in wool, the piece pairs an ivory and taupe ground with chocolate brown and charcoal ornament, while the field opens into a network of small floral and geometric motifs. The surface shows medium wear, with softened contrast and an aged patina that deepens its character. Circa 1925 - 1945, this Mallayer carries the restrained richness and quiet complexity associated with antique weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
