Mallayer / 25558

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 8' 5" x 15' 8", is rendered in a softly worn palette of brown, cream, white, and faded blue, with rust notes warming the field. A repeating rosette lattice creates steady rhythm across the long composition, while the layered border holds the design in place with quiet precision. The surface shows medium distress, with broad fading, abrash, and a lived-in patina that softens the floral detail. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the restrained depth and atmospheric wear that give antique rug design its enduring presence.
