Mallayer / 24298

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 3" x 18' 3", with a long, narrow field that carries a softened central medallion and layered border detail from end to end. The palette rests in warm white, cream, taupe, and brown, with muted rust notes breaking through the wear. Its surface shows pronounced fading and abrasion, allowing the pattern to read in ghosted layers rather than sharp lines. Circa 1900 - 1935, it holds the quiet patina and lived-in depth that define an antique rug, while preserving enough structure in the border and field to keep the composition grounded and legible.
