Mallayer / 31207

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 1" x 16' 11" and carries a long, narrow format with a quietly layered field of diamonds, floral sprigs, and geometric infill. The palette settles into cream, taupe, faded teal, warm brown, and soft terracotta, giving the surface a timeworn, atmospheric softness. A finely patterned border frames the composition without interrupting its rhythm, while the medium distress lends a dry, gently faded character across the full length. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the restrained elegance and lived-in depth that define the Mallayer tradition.
