Mallayer / 22333

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 9" x 11' 3" and reads with a weathered, layered calm. A field of faded blue is worked with cream, taupe, and soft gold detailing, while pale green notes settle into the borders and corners. The central medallion is defined by an angular outline, then softened by time into an allover weave of floral and geometric forms. Medium distress gives the surface a lived-in, matte character, with visible fading that mellows the contrast. Circa 1920 - 1935, this piece carries the quiet complexity and restraint that make a Mallayer so enduring.
