Mallayer / 14770

This Mallayer antique rug measures 213 x 422 cm and carries an allover floral lattice with a restrained, ordered rhythm. Warm brown grounds the composition, lifted by muted red, tan and camel accents that have mellowed with age. A slim geometric border defines the edge, while the field shows visible abrash and softened wear that speak to its history. The surface feels tactile and quietly layered, with medium distress lending depth rather than distraction. Circa 1880 - 1900, this Mallayer holds the hushed balance and heritage palette associated with the type.
