Mallayer / 18653

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 3" x 16' 0" and carries a quietly layered field of small-scale floral forms beneath a broad, time-softened border. Woven in wool, its neutral palette of brown, cream, white, and muted grey-blue reads airy yet grounded, with wear that has gently blurred the pattern into a calm, lived-in surface. The long proportions emphasise its restrained symmetry and the subtle rhythm of the all-over design. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the hushed elegance and depth of an antique rug shaped by age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
