Mallayer / 32104

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 5" x 16' 8" and carries a long, elongated composition with a narrow framing border and repeating floral-geometric medallions through the field. The palette is restrained, shifting between cream, ivory, taupe, brown, and softened black, with broad areas of fading that lend the surface a calm, weathered presence. Visible wear has gently blurred the pattern, creating depth rather than distraction. Circa 1910 - 1930, it reads as a quietly refined example of the Mallayer tradition, with a balanced rhythm that feels both detailed and time-worn.
