mallayer / 29871

This mallayer antique rug measures 3' 3" x 15' 2" and carries a long, narrow format with a richly patterned field in teal-blue, cream, brown, and muted gold. The composition reads as a repeating central motif, framed by a restrained border structure that keeps the design linear and balanced. Subtle wear and fading soften the drawing, giving the surface a calm, lived-in character. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the graphic clarity and decorative density associated with the mallayer tradition, while the palette lends a quiet warmth throughout. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
