Mallayer / 28542

This Mallayer antique rug measures 7' 1" x 20' 8" and reads with a long, architectural presence. A deep blue field is animated by layered geometric medallions, floral sprays, and small repeating ornaments, all softened by time into a subdued, nuanced surface. The cream and white borders frame the composition with a lighter cadence, while hints of olive and neutral tones temper the palette. Medium wear, fading, and visible patina lend the piece a quietly aged character. Circa 1915 - 1930, it balances structure and softness in a way that feels both grounded and lyrical.
