Mallayer / 21654

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 11" x 11' 5" and presents an intricate allover floral lattice softened by age. The rust red field is layered with teal blue, ivory, camel, and charcoal accents, while the blue border adds a grounded geometric frame. Wool pile and visible wear lend the surface a dry, timeworn tactility that feels refined rather than formal. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the restrained warmth and dense ornament associated with Mallayer weaving, with fading that gently blurs the design into a cohesive, atmospheric whole. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
