Mallayer / 24647

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 5" x 14' 4" and presents a restrained palette of blue, cream, and softened beige across an elongated field. The composition is organized with an allover geometric lattice, floral medallions, and a narrow repeating border that frames the design without overwhelming it. Surface wear and gentle fading have blurred the pattern in places, lending the piece a quiet, lived-in depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the layered patina and hushed contrast that make Mallayer rugs so enduringly compelling. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
