Mallayer / 22318

This Mallayer antique rug measures 9' 5" x 12' 6" and presents a field of repeating village-house motifs set in ordered rows, each figure softened by age into a calm, rhythmic composition. The palette moves between indigo blue, faded red, ivory, sage, and charcoal, with a floral border that quietly frames the whole. Its surface carries visible fading and scattered wear, lending the design a lived-in, gently weathered depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the restrained ornament and graphic clarity often associated with the Mallayer tradition, balanced here by a nuanced, timeworn finish.
