Mallayer / 29006

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 6" x 9' 4" and presents a long, restrained composition in ivory, taupe, and deep brown. A narrow border frames a vertically stretched field of geometric floral forms, creating a balanced rhythm across the length of the piece. The surface shows medium distress, with softened contrast, visible fading, and a dry, timeworn hand that lends depth to the darker grounds. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the quiet formality and layered texture often sought in an antique rug of this character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
