Mallayer / 20943

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 3' 7" x 12' 6", presents a long, finely balanced composition in wool with a weathered palette of cream, brown, white, and muted blue. The field is built from layered floral forms and softened medallion details, framed by a disciplined geometric border that keeps the design anchored from end to end. Areas of wear and fading lend the surface a quiet patina, allowing the pattern to read with depth rather than sharp contrast. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the restrained elegance and lived-in character that define a well-aged Mallayer.
