Mallayer / 18392

This Mallayer antique rug measures 198 x 493 cm and brings forward a tall, measured composition softened by time. Woven in wool, it pairs a faded blue field with taupe, grey, ivory, and soft brown notes, so the pattern settles into a hushed, tonal register. The border is finely worked, while the central field shifts between denser and more open ornament, giving the layout a steady vertical cadence. Circa 1880 - 1895, it shows medium wear, subdued fading, and age-worn areas that soften the design without disturbing its overall balance.
