Mallayer / 23133

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 7" x 12' 10" and carries a quiet, timeworn presence in cream, ivory, and muted taupe. The field shows a softly dissolved allover pattern, while the border retains traces of floral and geometric detail, giving the composition a layered, almost veil-like depth. High distress has aged the surface beautifully, with broad areas of fading and abrasion that lighten the design and reveal its history. Circa 1900 - 1920, it feels grounded, restrained, and tactile, with the refined irregularity that defines an antique rug of character.
