Mallayer / 13453

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 10" x 12' 6" and carries a quiet, timeworn clarity in wool. The cream and beige field is layered with small floral devices, lattice geometry, and restrained blue accents that soften the composition. A series of narrow borders frames the center with steady rhythm, while the overall surface shows medium wear and a muted, lived-in hand. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the balance and subtle ornament often prized in Mallayer weaving, with faded contrasts that lend the piece depth without overwhelming the design.
