Mallayer / 19149

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 8" x 6' 0" and presents a restrained allover field of scrolling floral vines in softened slate and charcoal tones. A narrow border frames the composition with a quiet geometric rhythm, while the pale taupe ground keeps the drawing airy and understated. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and age-softened pattern detail that adds depth without overwhelming the design. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the calm, timeworn character that makes Mallayer weaving so distinctive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
