Mallayer / 24494

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 12' 7" and carries a long, narrow composition with a richly patterned field set within a rust-red border. The palette moves between muted teal, charcoal, cream, and brown, creating a layered, time-softened surface with depth and quiet contrast. Repeating geometric and floral forms run through the centre, while the border adds rhythm and structure. Low distress preserves the clarity of the design even as the finish reads gently worn. Circa 1915 - 1935, it reflects the measured ornament and aged character that give Mallayer rugs their enduring appeal.
