Mallayer / 26502

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 5" x 13' 1" and presents a long, restrained field of layered floral ornament in weathered blue, neutral beige, muted green, and rust. The allover pattern feels quietly architectural, with repeating medallions and fine vinework framed by a narrow botanical border that keeps the composition composed and linear. Light fading and surface wear soften the drawing without obscuring its detail, giving it an easy, lived-in texture. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the calm character and elongated proportion that make Mallayer weaving so enduring.
