Mallayer / 14403

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 6' 9" x 9' 10", presents a finely worked field of geometric florals and lattice forms in layered brown, cream, and warm neutral tones. The border carries a rhythmic scrolling motif that frames the composition with quiet precision, while the interior reads as richly patterned yet softened by age. Worn in a balanced, even way, it holds a tactile, timeworn surface that feels grounded and composed. Circa 1900 - 1920, this wool rug reflects the dense decorative language associated with the Mallayer tradition, with faded contrast and mellow patina giving the whole piece depth and restraint.
