Mallayer / 20431

This Mallayer antique rug measures 208 x 513 cm and carries a long, elegant field of layered ornament in ivory, taupe, camel, charcoal, muted blue, and soft gold. The design pairs scrolling floral details with geometric motifs, all enclosed by a finely worked border that remains legible through the softened weave. Wool lends a warm, tactile character, while visible wear and fading create an understated sense of age. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the measured pattern and timeworn surface associated with a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
