Mallayer / 19600

This Mallayer antique rug measures 12' 0" x 20' 1" and presents a quietly faded field of pale blue, cream, and softened neutral tones. An intricate allover floral lattice fills the central octagonal composition, while a refined border system of vines, blossoms, and small geometric repeats frames the design with clarity. The surface shows medium wear, with visible abrasion and diffuse fading that lend the piece a gentle, timeworn patina. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the layered character and restrained palette that make Mallayer rugs so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
