Mallayer / 13195

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 0" x 10' 9" and carries a balanced, textural field of small floral and geometric motifs beneath a strong vertical chain of dark diamond medallions. The palette blends sage, cream, pale blue, warm beige, and navy, creating a quiet contrast that feels layered and lived with. A narrow floral border frames the composition, while the visible wear softens the details without disturbing the overall rhythm. Circa 1885 - 1900, this wool piece reflects the measured elegance and restraint often associated with Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
