Mallayer / 18483

This Mallayer antique rug measures 11' 9" x 17' 4" and presents a refined, time-worn field in powder blue and faded teal, detailed with delicate floral ornament and softly framed by ivory borders with repeating palmettes and vinework. The composition feels orderly yet atmospheric, with surface wear that mutes the palette and gives the pattern a gentle patina. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the nuanced elegance associated with Mallayer weaving, where dense decoration and restrained colour meet in a balanced, lived-in textile. Woven in wool, it carries the warmth and softness expected of an antique rug with medium distress.
