Mallayer / 20877

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 5" x 4' 4", and carries a warm, time-softened palette of salmon pink, navy, brown, cream, muted blue, and olive. A layered field of floral vines surrounds a strong stepped medallion, while dark corner spandrels and a finely drawn border lend the composition depth and structure. The wool surface shows low distress with gentle wear that leaves the design legible and quietly aged. Circa 1885 - 1900, it offers the grounded character and rhythmic detail that define this woven tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
