Mallayer / 14932

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 2" x 16' 6" and presents a finely worked allover field in brown, cream, and muted taupe, framed by a restrained border of repeating floral and geometric motifs. The composition feels balanced and layered, with a dense lattice that reads as both rhythmic and quietly formal. Wool gives the surface a soft, timeworn hand, while medium distress and widespread fading have mellowed the palette into a grounded, lived-in register. Circa 1900 - 1925, it carries the patina and visual depth that define a well-kept antique rug.
