Mallayer / 18653

This Mallayer antique rug measures 221 x 488 cm and presents a finely repeated floral ground within a framed border, now softened by years of visible wear. Woven in wool, the surface settles into neutral tones of brown, cream, white, and muted grey-blue, with distressed areas that lend the design a weathered, atmospheric character. The elongated format draws out the quiet repetition across the field, while the border remains legible yet gently faded. Circa 1885 - 1900, it offers the understated tactility and aged nuance associated with a well-worn antique rug.
