Mallayer / 27885

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 12' 11" and presents a long, slender format with a layered field of latticework, rosettes, and small geometric medallions. A deep navy ground is softened by slate blue, cream, and beige, while the border framework remains readable despite time-worn fading. The composition feels balanced and architectural, with a steady vertical rhythm that draws the eye through the length of the piece. Circa 1895 - 1910, its medium distress lends a quiet, lived-in surface and softened contrast that suits the rug's restrained palette and elegant proportions.
