Mallayer / 30030

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 13' 3" and presents a long, narrow format with a softly worn field of geometric floral motifs. The palette moves through neutral, brown, white, and cream, with a muted aqua cast that cools the surface and gives the composition a faded, lived-in clarity. Multiple borders frame the design with repeating leaf forms and compact ornament. Low distress preserves the structure while allowing the abrasion and fading to read as part of its character. Circa 1925 - 1940. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
