Mallayer / 13431

This Mallayer antique rug measures 5' 2" x 10' 10" and presents a long, narrow composition with a rhythmic column of floral medallions set against a worn brown ground. Red and blue ornament gathers through the centre and border, creating a layered, time-softened contrast that feels both grounded and graphic. The field shows visible abrasion and faded passages, which lend the surface its quiet depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the character of a well-kept antique rug with a restrained palette and balanced decorative structure. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
