Mallayer / 20335

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 15' 10", presenting a long, architectural field in wool with a restrained palette of neutral, white, cream, and brown. The design reads with quiet clarity, from the stepped zigzag framing the centre to the finely worked border bands that soften the edges. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries medium wear, with faded high points and worn passages that deepen its layered, lived-in character. The elongated format and delicate patterning give the piece a measured rhythm, while its surface holds the warmth and irregularity of an antique rug with genuine age.
