Mallayer / 16294

This Mallayer antique rug measures 8' 10" x 15' 4", with a softly faded field in white, cream, and neutral brown that reads with quiet depth. The all-over pattern settles into a worn medallion structure, framed by narrow borders and a floral outer guard that still holds traces of its original rhythm. Wool construction and high distress lend the surface a low, velvety register, with abrasion and fading that blur the geometry in a deliberate, timeworn way. Circa 1910 - 1930, it carries the grounded character and restrained elegance associated with an antique rug of this type.
