Mallayer / 25359

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 3" x 13' 6" and presents a long, elegant field softened by age. A calm ivory ground is scattered with petite floral and geometric motifs in muted rust, brown, and traces of faded sky blue, while the narrow borders hold the composition with a disciplined, timeworn frame. The surface shows medium wear, with a quiet patina and gentle tonal variation that bring depth to the design. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the lived-in character and understated balance often associated with a well-kept antique rug.
