Mallayer / 31057

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 1" x 11' 8" and carries a long, restrained composition in cream, taupe, and muted blue-grey. A narrow central field of repeating scalloped botanical forms is framed by quiet geometric borders, creating a balanced vertical rhythm that feels both ordered and timeworn. The surface shows medium distress, with pronounced fading and softened detail that lend the piece a quietly worn character. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the understated elegance often associated with Mallayer weaving, where pattern, age, and patina come forward together. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
