Mallayer / 21139

This Mallayer antique rug, 6' 9" x 9' 6", presents a time-softened field of floral motifs within a layered border structure. Wool in a restrained palette of cream, white, muted teal, and faded taupe creates a calm, weathered surface with visible wear that blurs the pattern in places without losing its structure. The border carries oversized paisley forms, while the inner field remains finely worked and balanced. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads with the quiet depth and softened contrast that define a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
