Mallayer / 21500

This Mallayer antique rug measures 361 x 635 cm and carries an allover floral design set within a structured border system of vines, rosettes, and softened geometric accents. Woven in wool, the surface has a gently worn, tactile presence, with blue, cream, white, and neutral tones edged by faded coral. The pattern remains legible yet beautifully subdued, with visible abrash and broad areas of tonal fading that enrich its character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the calm, layered patina often sought in an antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
