Mallayer / 32066

This Mallayer antique rug measures 8' 10" x 15' 0" and presents a restrained palette of cream, ivory, beige, and brown. A finely worked field of geometric repeats is framed by layered borders and anchored by two large lozenge forms, one at each end, giving the composition a quiet architectural rhythm. The surface shows high distress, with broad fading and worn highlights that soften the design without losing its structure. Circa 1915 - 1930, it carries the mellow character and visual depth that define a timeworn antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
