Mallayer / 24491

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 9" x 10' 3" and carries a layered field of geometric medallions, floral rosettes, and finely worked border detail. The palette moves through blue, brown, cream, white, and muted coral, with age-softened contrast that gives the surface a lived-in clarity. Bands of darker tone break across the field, adding rhythm and depth to the composition. Circa 1890 - 1905, it reflects the balanced ornament and quiet wear that make Mallayer rugs so compelling, with a grounded presence and a tactile, timeworn finish. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
