Mallayer / 20878

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 1" x 6' 3" and presents a layered geometric composition in red, teal, ivory, and brown. Repeated medallion forms sit within a field of stepped outlines and angular ornament, while the narrow border adds a restrained floral frame. The wool surface shows low distress, with softened colour and a lived-in patina that lends depth without overwhelming the pattern. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the quiet discipline and decorative density that define the Mallayer tradition, balanced here by a clear, rhythmic arrangement and a warm, timeworn finish.
