Mallayer / 22691

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 13' 2" and carries a restrained palette of deep blue, ivory, beige, and brown. The long, narrow field is filled with a rhythmic floral-geometric design, edged by multiple borders that frame the composition with quiet precision. Soft wear and gentle fading lend the surface a lived-in calm, while the contrast remains clear enough to hold the pattern's detail. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the measured character and layered ornament often associated with Mallayer weaving, balancing structure, softness, and timeworn depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
