Mallayer / 21500

This Mallayer antique rug measures 11' 10" x 20' 10" and presents a layered field of faded floral patterning, framed by multiple borders with scrolling vine and rosette details. Worn wool gives the surface a hushed, time-softened hand, while blue, cream, white, and neutral tones are lifted by traces of faded coral. The composition feels measured and richly weathered, with visible abrash and tonal shift that add depth across the field. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the quiet complexity and lived-in texture that distinguish an antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
