Mallayer / 31374

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 8" x 8' 7" and carries a layered field of stepped diamonds, small geometric blossoms, and scattered tribal devices across a deep blue ground. Ivory, rust red, sage, and muted teal accents bring definition to the composition, while the multiple borders frame it with crisp, rhythmic detail. The surface shows low distress with gentle fading and a lived-in softness that feels balanced rather than heavy. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects a design language that is both structured and expressive, with a grounded palette that gives the whole piece a quietly architectural presence.
