Mallayer / 20980

Mallayer antique rug, 3' 1" x 15' 1", woven in wool and defined by a long, narrow format with a softly worn field. The composition carries faded floral medallions and scrolling ornament in muted blue-grey, rust red, cream, and brown, all enclosed by a red geometric border that still reads clearly against the distressed ground. Its surface shows honest age, with abrasion, bleaching, and softened contrast that lend the piece a quiet, layered character. Circa 1900 - 1915, this Mallayer antique rug reflects the restrained elegance and weathered depth associated with collected interiors.
