Mallayer / 21004

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 389 x 833 cm, carries a long, composed field in muted blue, teal, cream, brown, and rust. Repeated geometric medallions sit within a lattice-like arrangement, while floral and vine borders preserve a clearer sense of framing at the edges. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible fading, wear, and a gently softened outline that adds to its layered character. Circa 1885 - 1900, it offers a grounded, timeworn presence, where pattern and patina sit in careful balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
