Mallayer / 25373

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 3' 3" x 16' 0", is defined by a long, narrow format and a quietly weathered composition. A central navy lattice of repeating teardrop forms runs through a pale field, while small scattered motifs and a restrained border linger at the edges. The surface shows pronounced wear, with softened detail, luminous fading, and a beautifully worn texture that gives the piece depth and understatement. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the grounded character and visual restraint that make Mallayer rugs so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
