Mallayer / 18305

This Mallayer antique rug, 6' 7" x 10' 9", presents a restrained field of interlaced floral geometry framed by a quietly worked border. Wool lends the surface a soft, lived-in hand, while weathered ivory, taupe, charcoal, and faded blue create a calm, layered palette. The drawing is finely organised yet visibly softened by age, with medium distress and broad wear that lend the piece a hazy, timeworn character. Circa 1920 - 1940, it holds the balance of an antique rug that feels grounded, nuanced, and materially honest. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
