Mallayer / 21638

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 5' 6" and presents a layered field of blue, rust, cream, and white softened by age. The composition is built from small-scale geometric and floral motifs, then enclosed by multiple narrow borders that keep the structure readable even as the surface has worn down. The pile shows generous fading and abrasion, creating a quiet, painterly effect across the wool. Circa 1900 - 1925, it carries the grounded character and timeworn texture that define an antique rug with lasting visual depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
