Mallayer / 21680

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 0" x 11' 4" and carries a time-softened palette of brown, gold, faded red, dusty blue, and ivory. The field is densely worked with floral and medallion-inspired motifs, then enclosed by narrow borders of rosettes, vines, and geometric accents that lend structure to the worn surface. Its medium distress creates a layered, atmospheric reading, with areas of fading and abrasion that flatten the design in places and deepen its character elsewhere. Circa 1910 - 1945, it reflects the quiet richness and age-earned nuance often associated with Mallayer weaving.
