Mallayer / 29909

This Mallayer antique rug, 9' 3" x 12' 10", balances a bold central medallion with a finely worked outer border, creating a layered composition that feels both structured and gently worn. The palette moves through brown, taupe, ivory, and cream, with the field softened by age and use. Floral and geometric details remain visible beneath the patina, lending depth to the surface. Circa 1930 - 1950, it carries the quiet restraint and lived-in character often associated with a well-kept antique rug, while the medium distress adds texture and warmth rather than distraction.
