Mallayer / 21086

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 10" x 6' 3" and presents a layered field of floral geometry in deep indigo, rust, ivory, and sky blue. The composition feels both orderly and animated, with a narrow floral border and broader outer bands that frame the central design in steady rhythm. Wool lends the surface a supple, timeworn tactility, while the visible wear softens the contrast and brings out the rug’s nuanced palette. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the grounded elegance and compact balance associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
