Mallayer / 32739

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 8" x 16' 0" and carries a long, narrow presence with a softened central field and layered border structure. The palette settles into rust red, faded burgundy, ivory, taupe, and brown, with muted floral-geometric motifs emerging through heavy wear and wash. The drawing is disciplined but timeworn, allowing the border rhythm to remain legible even as the field has opened into broad areas of abrasion. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the quiet patina and grounded character prized in an antique rug of this scale.
