Mallayer / 22248

This Mallayer antique rug measures 2' 11" x 12' 11" and presents a long, narrow composition with a softly worn, time-muted palette of blue, cream, tan, and brown. A repeating series of diamond medallions runs through the centre, framed by delicate floral and geometric details that give the field a measured rhythm. The border is denser and more graphic, adding warmth and definition around the faded interior. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries medium distress that lends depth to the drawing and a quiet, settled presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
