Mallayer / 25559

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 4" x 22' 4" and carries an elongated, architectural presence. A dense field of repeating floral and lattice forms sits within layered borders, balancing a deep teal ground with green, cream, white, and muted blush notes. The pattern reads steady and rhythmic, yet the surface shows the softened clarity of age, with visible wear that lends depth and texture. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the grounded elegance associated with Mallayer weaving, where ornament and restraint meet in quiet balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
