Mallayer / 17949

This Mallayer antique rug measures 10' 0" x 13' 2" and carries a refined allover field of floral medallions, rosettes, and scrolling vines within a finely layered border. The palette moves between teal, ivory, cream, and charcoal, with muted blue tones lending depth to the worn surface. Its medium distress softens the pattern and gives the composition a quietly timeworn balance. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the graceful density and decorative rhythm often associated with Mallayer weaving, while remaining calm and versatile in tone. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
