Mallayer / 18339

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 9" x 10' 9" and carries a timeworn balance of faded blue, ivory, taupe, and muted red. A prayer-arch inspired field rises into layered floral geometry, while the border settles the composition with a quieter, more linear rhythm. The wool surface shows medium distress, with softened detail and a washed, atmospheric finish that lends depth to the pattern. Circa 1875 - 1890, it reflects the restrained character and decorative complexity associated with Mallayer weaving, rendered here in a composition that feels both grounded and delicately worn.
