Mallayer / 22661

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 10' 2", with a long, narrow profile and a time-softened field that reads as both structured and atmospheric. A central blue medallion anchors the composition, while small geometric and floral motifs unfold in a pale ground of cream, brown, and white. Narrow borders and a gently worn outer frame hold the design in place, giving the surface a layered, collected feel. Circa 1900 - 1920, it shows medium distress with visible fading that softens the contrast and brings out the rug's quiet texture and age.
