Mallayer / 19487

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 5" x 16' 10" and presents a long, restrained field filled with an allover floral lattice. The dark ground is lifted by cream, white, muted blue, and olive details, while the surrounding border adds a rhythmic geometric note with rosette cartouches and diagonal accents. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and softened pattern definition that lend the piece a layered, timeworn depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as grounded and refined, with a quiet balance of detail and wear that speaks to wool woven over time.
