Mallayer / 22810

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 10" x 20' 5" and offers a long, restrained composition in layered ivory, cream, and brown tones. The field is arranged with stacked geometric medallions and a softened central axis, all framed by a narrow border of small floral and angular motifs. Its surface shows medium wear and a mellow fade that gives the drawing a dusted, time-worn clarity. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the quiet elegance and lived-in texture that define a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
