Mallayer / 18339

This Mallayer antique rug measures 145 x 328 cm and presents a quietly aged palette of faded blue, ivory, taupe, soft red, and muted sage. The central prayer-arch inspired field is worked with dense floral and geometric patterning, framed by a slender border that keeps the composition defined even as the surface softens with age. Medium distress gives the wool a subdued, tactile finish, with fading and visual variation that add to its heritage feel. Circa 1950 - 1975, it captures the layered ornament and measured elegance often associated with Mallayer weaving.
