Mallayer / 19947

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 206 x 490 cm, presents a hushed palette of cream, neutral tones, brown and warm grey across a long, gracefully worn field. The design is composed of small-scale geometric and floral motifs, organised within a finely worked border and slim guard lines that preserve a sense of balance. Circa 1920 - 1940, the wool surface shows medium distress, including softened contrast, fading and visible wear that adds depth without obscuring the pattern. The result is a rug with quiet detail, aged warmth and an unfussy sense of ornament.
