Mallayer / 29008

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 1" x 15' 0" and carries a long, softly faded field organized by small geometric medallions, floral rosettes, and bracketed forms. A layered red border frames the composition, while the neutral ground opens into pale cream, taupe, and muted blue passages that feel weathered and calm. The surface shows medium distress, with visible wear and abrash that lend the piece its broken-in character. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reads as a quietly expressive antique rug, balancing structure, age, and subtle colour movement with a grounded, timeworn presence.
