Mallayer / 14949

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 0" x 6' 3" and brings a quiet, well-worn elegance through its tree-of-life field, layered border work, and softened geometry. Woven in wool, the palette moves between warm ivory, faded red, brown, and muted rust, creating depth without sharp contrast. The composition feels balanced yet expressive, with scrolling border motifs framing a central register of stylized botanical forms. Medium wear has mellowed the surface and lightened the colours, adding to its tactile, lived-in character. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
