Mallayer / 11036

This Mallayer shows a warm rust field peppered with palmettes and boteh motifs, set within a wide ivory main border and several narrow guards. The wool fibre has softened with time, surface abrasion and local pile loss producing subtle abrash and a muted, tactile surface. Sized 188 x 297 cm, the composition maintains a clear, repeating medallion rhythm softened by wear. The result is an antique rug with a quiet, heritage-aware presence; the palette and handling of pattern feel resolutely handmade. Circa 1890 - 1910. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
