Mallayer / 20438

This Mallayer antique rug, 6' 0" x 11' 8", presents an allover floral lattice softened by time, with palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling vine forms layered across a weathered field. The pink border adds warmth against the grounded mix of brown, cream, white, and grey, while faded blue notes lend quiet depth. Wool pile shows low distress, with visible wear and surface oxidation that flatten the contrast in a pleasing, settled way. Circa 1910 - 1925, it carries the layered character and nuanced palette that make Mallayer weaving so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
