Mallayer / 28460

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 10' 7", with a long, narrow format that emphasizes its disciplined border work and softly scattered field. The composition reads as layered and seasoned, with a grounded olive-brown ground punctuated by faded coral, pale sage, ivory, and charcoal accents. Small floral elements drift across the centre, while angular geometric borders give the piece structure and rhythm. Visible wear has mellowed the surface into a quiet, atmospheric register, lending the rug a tactile depth. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
