Mallayer / 19614

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 279 x 353 cm, pairs an all-over geometric composition with floral detail, framed by intricate borders and corner spandrels. Wool in rust, cream, brown, pale blue, and sage has mellowed into a subdued, tactile palette, while medium wear has softened the pattern without losing its rhythm. The field shows visible fading and tonal variation, giving the surface a layered, timeworn presence. Circa 1940 - 1965, it reflects the restrained complexity and heritage character associated with Mallayer design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
