Mallayer / 18558

This Mallayer antique rug measures 373 x 498 cm and carries a finely patterned all-over field of floral motifs arranged within a subtle lattice structure. Its colour story has softened to ivory, taupe, warm beige, charcoal, and faded blue-grey, creating a muted surface with notable depth and age. A slender floral border holds the composition in place, while the field shows extensive fading and a gently worn, atmospheric finish. Circa 1915 - 1940, it reads as an antique rug with high distress, where the visual texture is shaped as much by time as by pattern.
