Mallayer / 17096

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 3" x 9' 7" and balances a softly faded field with a darker, denser centre band that gives the composition quiet depth. Woven in wool, it pairs cream and beige ground tones with brown outlining and muted sage accents, creating an aged palette that reads restrained and grounded. The border carries a refined geometric-floral rhythm, while the field shifts between open, washed areas and more concentrated pattern. Circa 1900 - 1920, the surface shows medium wear and a nuanced patina that speaks to long use and time.
