Mallayer / 19578

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 2" x 16' 5", with a long, narrow field softened by age and layered with restrained floral drawing. The cream ground is lifted by muted red, rose, brown, and blue-grey accents, while the borders retain a quieter ornamental rhythm. Circa 1915 - 1930, its surface shows visible fading and abrash that give the composition a washed, atmospheric depth. The design reads as formal yet timeworn, with a central medallion sequence and enclosing borders that frame the length of the rug with balance and repose.
