Mallayer / 27886

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 13' 2" and carries a long, vertically proportioned field filled with repeating geometric blossoms and latticework. The warm beige and brown ground is softened by muted ivory wear, with small blue-green accents that flicker through the pattern. A restrained border frames the composition with fine angular detail, while the surface shows honest distress and broad fading that lend it a weathered, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as grounded and quiet, with a layered patina that emphasizes the character of the antique rug.
