Mallayer / 24248

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 19' 4" and carries a long, gently worn surface that softens its traditional floral drawing. The composition unfolds in an elongated field with layered rosettes, vines, and a narrow border that frames the design without interrupting its rhythm. Faded red, cream, ivory, and muted sage tones create a quiet, timeworn palette, with visible wear lending depth and a lived-in finish. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reads with the restraint and elegance often associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
