Mallayer / 30540

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 9" x 13' 6" and carries a long, elegant profile with a faded central field, floral detailing, and a border that still reads clearly against its softened ground. Cream, brown, muted blue, and terracotta tones move through the composition with a washed, timeworn calm. The elongated medallion format gives the piece a disciplined structure, while visible wear and abrash lend depth and atmosphere. Circa 1925 - 1940, it reflects the layered visual language associated with Mallayer weaving, where pattern and patina are held in delicate balance.
