Mallayer / 17618

This Mallayer antique rug measures 10' 5" x 13' 6" and presents a layered allover field of palmettes, rosettes, and small floral forms set within a restrained border system. Wool pile in cream, muted blue, taupe, and brown gives the composition a softened, atmospheric quality, with the design still reading clearly despite age. The surface shows medium distress and a gentle patina that tempers the pattern without obscuring its structure. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the quiet balance and worn elegance that define this category. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
