Mallayer / 22262

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 1" x 13' 1", presenting a long, elegant format with a vivid floral field set around an elongated ivory central medallion. The composition is tightly structured, yet full of movement, with layered blossoms, rosettes, and geometric accents worked in dark navy, sky blue, rust, blush, olive, and gold. A floral border frames the design with steady rhythm. The surface shows softened wear and a mellowed patina that quiets the palette without diminishing its detail. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the measured intricacy and enduring character associated with Mallayer weaving.
