Mallayer / 24288

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 13' 3", presenting a long, narrow format with a softened central field and a richly worked border. The faded blue ground is layered with rust, cream, and brown ornament, creating a calm yet intricate surface where geometric and floral notes sit in balance. Wear is restrained, with gentle fading and a timeworn hand that lends depth without overwhelming the pattern. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the quiet character and dimensional palette often associated with well-kept antique Mallayer weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
