Mallayer / 22163

This Mallayer antique rug measures 10' 7" x 23' 6" and presents a long, narrow field filled with intricate allover geometry in layered blue, teal, aqua, and softened rust tones. The composition is framed by multiple borders and slim guard bands, giving the design a measured, architectural rhythm. Visible abrasion and fading have mellowed the surface into a quiet, timeworn register while preserving the density of the pattern. Circa 1910 - 1930, it carries the lived-in character and restrained colour balance that define a well-kept antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
