Mallayer / 17957

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 5" x 9' 10" and presents a softly worn composition in ivory, beige, taupe, charcoal, and muted sky blue. The field is gently washed, allowing the geometric lattice and medallion fragments to surface and recede with quiet rhythm, while the border structure remains legible and finely drawn. Layers of tribal ornament and narrow guard bands give the piece a composed, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the visual depth and mellow patina that define a thoughtful antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
