Mallayer / 21014

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 10' 7" and presents a narrow, architectural layout with a cool teal-blue field framed by warm brown, cream, and white borders. Repeating geometric motifs run through the centre in a rhythm that feels both orderly and timeworn, while smaller border ornaments add crisp contrast. The wool surface shows medium distress, with softened colour transitions, visible age wear, and a lived-in hand that gives the composition quiet depth. Circa 1880 - 1895, it carries the restrained elegance and layered texture that define a well-kept antique rug.
