Mallayer / 24179

This Mallayer antique rug measures 180 x 356 cm and carries an intricate, timeworn field of geometric and floral motifs in layered brown, cream, and softened neutral tones. A finely drawn border frames the composition with quiet botanical notes, while the surface shows medium distress that has mellowed the contrast and given the design a worn, atmospheric depth. The overall effect is balanced and textural, with a restrained palette that feels especially cohesive. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the enduring clarity and density often associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
