Mallayer / 29778

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 13' 0" and carries a long, disciplined field of layered floral forms in rust, brown, faded teal, and neutral ivory. The composition reads with a quiet rhythm, framed by a slender floral border that holds the design in place while the center opens into a sequence of medallion-like motifs. Medium distress has softened the drawing and lightened the palette, lending the surface a lived-in, timeworn clarity. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the restrained elegance and visual depth associated with Mallayer weaving.
