Mallayer / 32833

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 2" x 7' 2" and presents a finely faded, textural field of interlocked geometric forms in softened turquoise, coral, and neutral cream. The composition is anchored by a narrow pictorial border and layered guard borders that frame the dense centre with quiet precision. Its worn finish leaves the pattern gently blurred in places, lending depth without obscuring detail. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the grounded ease and visual intricacy that make Mallayer weaving so enduring, with a restrained palette and low distress that feel both lived-in and balanced.
