Mallayer / 18262

This Mallayer antique rug in wool measures 10' 0" x 13' 2" and carries the layered softness of age throughout its field. A deep indigo ground supports an allover pattern of floral and geometric forms, while the border frames the composition with finer scrolling detail and quiet contrast. The palette settles into faded blue, ivory, warm taupe, and muted rust, creating a nuanced, weathered harmony. Medium distress gives the surface a softened, lived-in quality without obscuring the design. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the restrained intricacy associated with Mallayer weaving.
