Mallayer / 22702

This Mallayer antique rug measures 8' 7" x 13' 7" and presents a richly layered field of scrolling floral ornament within a framed border structure. The palette moves between neutral tones, blue, white, and cream, with rust and brown lending depth across the worn surface. A large central diamond form anchors the composition, while the surrounding motifs read as softly diffused from age and use. Circa 1900 - 1920, the rug carries a medium distressed character that feels balanced and atmospheric, with visible fading that gives the pattern a lived-in, tactile presence.
