Mallayer / 20404

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 10' 2" x 13' 0", is woven in wool and carries a softened, time-worn presence. The field is layered with repeated geometric motifs that blur into a low, painterly register, while the border remains legible in pale blue and cream. Red tones have settled into muted rose and brick, creating depth against the faded ground. Heavy wear and broad areas of fading give the surface a quiet, matte texture. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the restrained elegance and weathered character often sought in a Mallayer antique rug.
