Mallayer / 19969

This Mallayer antique rug measures 295 x 381 cm and presents a time-softened field in faded blue, cream, ivory, and taupe. Its allover floral and palmette layout is finely dispersed, then held in place by a repeating botanical border that adds structure without visual weight. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and abrash that soften the palette and lend the rug a considered, lived-in character. Circa 1915 - 1930, it offers a quiet balance of ornament and restraint, with a washed finish that enhances its heritage feel.
