Mallayer / 22590

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 7" x 16' 9", presenting a long, disciplined field framed by layered borders and a quietly intricate tribal vocabulary. The composition moves from star and diamond medallions to floral sprays, angular vines, and small geometric reserves, all softened by time into a calm, balanced surface. Its palette of taupe, brown, cream, ivory, and muted blue-grey lends depth without heaviness, while visible wear and fading add character throughout. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reads as an antique rug with a restrained presence and a lived-in patina that feels both grounded and refined.
