Mallayer / 20916

This Mallayer antique rug in wool measures 160 x 315 cm and offers a worn, quietly composed presence. A pointed niche-shaped field is filled with an allover geometric lattice in faded blue, terracotta, ivory, and sage, then held by slim floral borders that keep the design grounded. The pile shows clear wear and softened contrast, with a dry, weathered surface that enhances the rug’s layered character. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the measured rhythm and restrained intricacy associated with Mallayer weaving, where pattern, age, and colour sit in careful balance.
