Mallayer / 24229

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 7" x 10' 7" and carries an easy, time-softened presence. An allover field of stepped geometric forms and small botanical details unfolds in muted brown, cream, white, and restrained blue-red accents, framed by slim floral borders. The drawing has relaxed with age, allowing the pattern to read with a quieter rhythm and a gently faded surface. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the grounded character and village craftsmanship associated with Mallayer rugs, with low distress that preserves the clarity of the design while lending it a lived-in, tactile depth.
