Mallayer / 22664

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 12' 9" and presents a long, restrained composition with a soft sage ground, muted rust ornament, and a border that reads with quiet balance. The field is filled with repeating geometric motifs arranged in a measured vertical rhythm, while the framing bands add darker structure and visual depth. Wear has mellowed the palette and softened the drawing, giving the piece an easy, timeworn character. Circa 1890 - 1910, it carries the calm, layered presence that defines a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
