Mallayer / 22814

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 8" x 12' 8" and carries a softly faded, timeworn presence across an allover field of layered floral and geometric motifs. The border remains legible, with narrow bands of scrolling detail and worn ornament framing the composition in subdued contrast. Its neutral and white ground is lifted by cream, grey, and charcoal notes, creating a quietly nuanced surface. High distress and visible age have softened the pattern into a painterly register. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the enduring restraint and elegance associated with the Mallayer tradition.
