Mallayer / 11817

A restrained Mallayer in warm neutrals, handwoven in wool with a calm, all-over lattice of stylised roundels and palmettes set against a mellow brown field. The ivory guard border provides a quiet contrast to the field, where soft abrash and medium distress reveal decades of subtle wear. Textural depth and a muted palette of neutral, brown, white and cream give the piece an archival, tactile presence. This antique rug reads like a well-loved textile, its motifs softened but legible, and its wool pile still resonant with touch. Circa 1900 - 1920. Size: 11' 7" x 18' 10".
