Mallayer / 32182

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 6" x 9' 6" and presents a long, restrained silhouette with a softly faded field in blue, cream, and brown. A rhythmic central lattice of geometric floral forms is framed by a narrow inner border and a more graphic outer border, giving the composition steady structure despite visible age. The surface shows medium distress, with worn high points and mellowed colour that flatten the pattern into something atmospheric and lived-in. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the quiet complexity that defines a well-aged Mallayer.
