Mallayer / 20097

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 104 x 142 cm, pairs a compact field with a richly ordered sequence of medallions, floral compartments, and scrolling corner reserves. Brick red, taupe, brown, cream, muted navy, and sage create a restrained yet expressive palette, while the central axis and repeating floral forms give the composition its rhythm. Visible wear is light, with gentle fading and softened edges that enhance the rug’s aged character. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reflects the poised geometry and layered ornament associated with a considered wool Mallayer, offering warmth, structure, and surface interest in equal measure.
