Mallayer / 32065

This Mallayer antique rug measures 2' 9" x 14' 2" and presents a long, narrow composition shaped by age and restraint. A softly worn central field of repeating geometric patterning is enclosed by layered borders, including a muted teal meander and a darker floral frame. The palette settles into brown, cream, white, and taupe, with faded contrast and open areas of wear that give the surface a painterly quality. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the quiet irregularity and softened edges that define a well-lived antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
