Mallayer / 16117

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 6' 10" x 15' 7", presents an allover field of compact geometric florals framed by finely patterned borders. Woven in wool, its neutral and brown palette is lifted by traces of faded terracotta, ivory, and muted teal, giving the surface a quiet depth. The drawing is disciplined yet softly worn, with abrash and age visible throughout the field and along the edges. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the subdued clarity and collected texture that make Mallayer rugs so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
