Mallayer / 21470

This Mallayer antique rug measures 373 x 701 cm and shows a richly layered allover field of floral medallions, vine work, and restrained lattice patterning in a softened, timeworn palette. The dark ground lends contrast to ivory, taupe, dusty rose, muted sage, and faded blue-grey accents, while the narrow floral border and outer guard border keep the composition well balanced. Circa 1900 - 1920, this wool rug has medium distress, with visible fading, abrash, and worn areas that create a nuanced, gently aged surface full of quiet depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
