Mallayer / 17097

This Mallayer antique rug measures 97 x 523 cm, with a slender runner profile and a richly aged palette of teal blue, rust red, brown, and muted ivory. Repeating floral medallions are set along the length of the field, balanced by smaller ornamental details and a slim border that keeps the composition orderly and expressive. The wool shows a soft, lived-in surface with low distress, gentle abrash, and an evenly timeworn character. Circa 1880 - 1910, it reflects the calm density and heritage presence associated with this antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
