Mallayer / 29890

This Mallayer antique rug measures 112 x 457 cm and carries a long, restrained field enclosed by a rust-toned border and an ivory outer band. Soft blue, cream, tan and sage notes dissolve through the design, allowing the floral lattice and stepped medallion motifs to read with a gentle, timeworn softness. The pointed ends and narrow format give the composition a composed, linear rhythm, while the medium distress lends visible age and character across the surface. Circa 1900 - 1935, it offers the grounded tactility and faded clarity associated with an antique rug.
