Mallayer / 18878

This Mallayer antique rug measures 193 x 404 cm and has a long, composed field with a quietly weathered presence. Brown, taupe, ivory, and softened blue-grey tones settle across a geometric allover design, while the border remains more delicate, finished with floral detailing and narrow guard bands. Medium distress is visible in the fading, worn surface, and subtle abrash, which soften the drawing and lend depth to the wool. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the tonal restraint and layered patterning often admired in a well-aged antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
