Mallayer / 16119

This Mallayer antique rug measures 10' 3" x 13' 7" and presents a field of softened floral detail framed by a generous red border. Wool pile in red, brown, and neutral tones is lifted by traces of teal-blue and ivory, creating a palette that feels both grounded and weathered. The ornament reads in layered bands across the centre, with the pattern eased by years of wear and surface abrasion. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the quiet patina and measured asymmetry that define a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
