Mallayer / 23152

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 8" x 16' 8" and presents a long, architectural format with a layered field of geometric medallions, floral fragments, and crisp border framing. The palette moves between teal, brown, cream, taupe, and faded blue, with rust notes lending warmth to the composition. Low distress keeps the drawing legible while visible fading softens the contrast and gives the surface a settled, lived-in presence. Circa 1925 - 1945, it carries the balanced complexity and rhythmic repetition that make Mallayer designs so compelling. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
