Mallayer / 14919

This Mallayer antique rug measures 91 x 478 cm and has the understated character of a long runner shaped by time. A muted teal central field is filled with a dense repeating motif, then enclosed by slender borders in brown, cream, and white with geometric accents. The composition is softened by visible wear, with faded areas, abrash-like variation, and gently frayed edges that temper the drawing. Circa 1880 - 1910, it speaks to the layered surface and quiet depth that define an antique rug, balancing pattern, patina, and wool texture in a restrained, heritage-minded way.
