Mallayer / 16938

This Mallayer antique rug measures 9' 7" x 16' 8" and presents a quietly layered field of faded florals, framed by a restrained botanical border. Woven in wool, it carries a softened ivory and cream palette with notes of taupe, blush, and muted brown that have relaxed beautifully over time. The pattern remains legible, yet intentionally worn, giving the composition a lived-in depth and an atmospheric calm. Circa 1885 - 1905, it reflects the enduring elegance associated with the Mallayer rug tradition, with high distress that adds character without overwhelming the design.
