Mallayer / 31126

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 2" x 16' 1" and carries a long, narrow format that emphasizes its layered border architecture. A softened central field of floral repeat sits within multiple framing bands, while the outer borders hold fine, geometric botanical detail. The palette is restrained, with cream, beige, taupe, and muted sage broken by traces of faded rose and brown. Visible wear has gently blurred the drawing, lending the surface a timeworn, textural calm. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the quiet elegance and lived-in character that define a well-aged antique rug.
