Mallayer / 24252

This Mallayer antique rug measures 9' 8" x 16' 2" and presents a softened, timeworn field of layered geometry in cream, taupe, brown, and muted blue. The composition is framed by intricate borders, with a large central medallion shape dissolving into an all-over lattice of floral and diamond motifs. Its medium distress lends the surface a mellow, lived-in depth, with visible fading that enhances the rug’s quiet tonal balance. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the restrained elegance and patina associated with a finely aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
