Mallayer / 30018

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 16' 7" and carries a long, nuanced field of faded blue, cream, and neutral tones. A repeating medallion lattice runs through the centre, softened by time into an atmospheric allover composition with small floral and geometric accents. The border remains legible but gently subdued, framing the design without overpowering it. Medium distress is visible in the worn surface, where abrash-like shifts and thinning add character and depth. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reads as a quietly layered piece with a lived-in finish and an elegant, elongated proportion.
