Mallayer / 13297

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 10" x 9' 3" and presents a richly layered field of compartmented florals, framed by a geometric border and narrow guard bands. Deep blue grounds, moss green vines, ivory outlines, and touches of rust and faded pink create a composition that feels both structured and animated. The worn surface softens the drawing, allowing the pattern to read with a painterly calm. Circa 1880 - 1910, this wool piece carries the quiet depth and visual complexity associated with the Mallayer tradition, with low distress that preserves its ornament while adding character.
