Mallayer / 15971

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 0" x 13' 0" and carries a timeworn, softly layered presence. The wool field reads in muted blue-green, cream, and taupe, with darker geometric bands still visible beneath the age-softened surface. A floral border frames the composition with restrained clarity, while the interior pattern has faded into an atmospheric weave of repeated motifs and worn transitions. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the nuanced character of a well-loved antique rug, where distress and abrasion lend depth without overwhelming the design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
