Mallayer / 29776

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 12' 10" and presents a long, slender field layered with timeworn floral geometry. A softened cream ground carries faded red, rust, and muted turquoise ornament, while a disciplined border frames the composition with quiet balance. The pattern reads as both structured and relaxed, with visible wear lending the surface a dry, lived-in texture. Circa 1915 - 1930, it feels anchored in tradition yet gently abstracted by age, a hallmark of the Mallayer weaving language. The overall effect is refined, atmospheric, and deeply tactile.
