Mallayer / 15097

This Mallayer antique rug in wool measures 11' 6" x 16' 6" and presents a richly layered field of floral palmettes, vinework, and small blossoms in deep brown, cream, and muted neutral tones. The border frames the composition with a finely drawn botanical cadence that softens the rug's overall geometry. Its medium distress lends a worn, atmospheric finish, with fading and age-related variation that deepen the surface character. Circa 1900 - 1915, this Mallayer reads as a grounded example of traditional design language with a quiet, lived-in presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
