Mallayer / 31048

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 0" x 12' 5", with a long, slender format and a softly worn presence that gives the design unusual depth. The field carries layered floral and geometric ornament in muted neutral, brown, and green tones, with flashes of teal-blue emerging through the abrasion. A repeating vine border encloses the composition, while pointed end panels help define the vertical rhythm. Circa 1900 - 1915, the surface shows medium distress, faded contrast, and age-softened edges that lend a quiet, collected character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
