Mallayer / 30542

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 6" x 15' 3" and carries a long, vertically drawn composition softened by age. A pale ivory and cream ground supports faded teal, blue, rust, and gold accents, with floral medallions and lattice forms dissolving into a gentle, worn field. The border remains readable but lightly washed, creating a quiet frame around the center. Circa 1925 - 1955, the surface shows medium distress, with broad fading and a comfortably timeworn character that lends depth without losing the rug's pattern. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
