Mallayer / 10295

The Mallayer is a wool rug defined by a bold central medallion and layered cream cartouches set into a warm red and deep brown field. Floral sprays, palmettes and restrained vine work articulate the composition while pale highlights lend a carved, tactile clarity to the pattern. The surface exhibits low distress and a soft pile that reads as lived-in yet preserved. Measures 7' 0" x 9' 10", this antique rug shows subtle abrash and gentle wear that deepen the dye tones without obscuring the design. Circa 1900 - 1950. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
