Mallayer / 20363

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 6" x 13' 9", with a long, narrow format and a finely layered field of geometric ornament. Blue, brown, and neutral tones sit against one another in a quietly aged arrangement, while the border brings structure with angular repeat motifs and worn guard stripes. The surface shows low distress, with softened colour and gentle abrasion that temper the design without diminishing its clarity. Circa 1895 - 1915, it carries the grounded character and visual depth associated with a well-preserved antique rug, offering a balanced mix of pattern density, patina, and restraint.
