Mallayer / 18301

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 0" x 13' 2", with a long, slender profile and a quietly layered floral composition. Woven in wool, it shows a restrained palette of brown, cream, white, and muted blue, with an allover pattern that alternates between mirrored medallion forms and scrolling botanical detail. A narrow border frames the field with a delicate rhythm, while the surface carries medium wear, softened contrast, and an aged patina. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the grounded elegance and nuanced fading often sought in an antique rug of this character.
