Mallayer / 15267

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 6' 10" x 15' 10", presents a restrained field of floral pattern in warm gold and brown tones, softened by age into a mellow, grounded surface. The long composition is framed by a detailed border and guard bands, while stepped cartouche forms and scrolling blossoms bring structure to the densely worked field. Circa 1900 - 1920, it shows medium wear, with visible fading that lends depth and quiet variation across the wool pile. The result is a rug with an understated, heritage-rich character, balanced and timeworn without losing its decorative clarity.
