Mallayer / 22398

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 5" x 15' 2" and carries a long, restrained field patterned with small floral repeats beneath a layered border structure. The palette moves through tan, brown, cream, muted red, and teal, with the design softened by visible wear that lends the surface a dry, timeworn tactility. Broad areas of fading and abrash break across the center, leaving a ghosted, textural rhythm rather than a fully uniform field. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the disciplined character and quiet complexity that define this antique rug.
