Mallayer / 20994

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 1" x 11' 7" and carries a long, architectural presence softened by age. A muted beige and brown field frames a deep blue central medallion, while layered borders and small-scale floral details hold the composition in quiet balance. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible fading, abrasion, and worn ends that lend warmth and depth rather than distraction. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the restrained elegance and subtle irregularity that make Mallayer weaving so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
