Mallayer / 19149

This Mallayer antique rug measures 112 x 183 cm and carries an understated allover field of scrolling floral vines in muted slate, charcoal and faded taupe. A slim border with repeating floral geometry holds the composition together, while the light ground gives the pattern room to breathe. The wool surface shows medium distress, with soft fading and gently worn detail that speak to age rather than neglect. Circa 1900 - 1920, it offers the quiet, textural presence and heritage-inflected character associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
