Mallayer / 20404

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 310 x 396 cm, is woven in wool and has a quietly aged, tactile character. The field carries a repeating geometric pattern that has softened over time, while the outer border still reads in washes of pale blue, cream, and taupe. Muted red notes sit beneath the wear, lending warmth to the faded ground. High distress, visible fading, and abrash-like variation create a surface with depth and patina. Circa 1900 - 1915, it offers the grounded, heritage-led language that defines a Mallayer antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
