Mallayer / 17732

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 0" x 6' 4" and presents a richly layered field of cream, red, and brown, animated by angular floral vines and a stepped central medallion. The border holds the composition with a dense, rhythmic frame, while the interior shows gentle fading and softened contrast that add depth to the design. Wool lends the surface a warm, tactile character, and the low distress preserves the clarity of the pattern without hiding its age. Circa 1925 - 1955, it feels grounded, graphic, and quietly timeworn. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
