Mallayer / 19916

This Mallayer antique rug measures 117 x 201 cm and shows a calm, time-softened field of repeating geometric floral cells, enclosed by a scrolling border and slender guard bands. Woven in wool, it brings together neutral tones, brown, red, and black in a balanced, closely structured composition. The surface has low distress, with soft fading, lightly worn areas, and a slightly relaxed fringe that reinforce its age and character. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the disciplined patterning and muted richness often associated with Mallayer weaving, rendered here with an easy, enduring grace.
