Mallayer / 16844

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 16' 10" and carries a long, graceful field of repeating floral motifs that read with quiet rhythm from end to end. The palette settles into cream, neutral beige, muted red, and softened blue-green, with warm brown notes emerging through the worn pile. A narrow floral border frames the composition, while the allover design remains legible despite gentle fading and age-related patina. Circa 1890 - 1910, it reflects the restrained elegance and layered character that make Mallayer weaving so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
