Mallayer / 19233

This Mallayer antique rug measures 165 x 396 cm and carries an allover field of Herati-inspired floral motifs, small geometric blossoms, and interlaced arabesques within a narrow, carefully resolved border. The palette settles into faded aqua, teal, sage, olive, muted brown, and soft ivory, with the colour further mellowed by age and use. Medium distress, surface wear, and softened contrast give the piece a gentle, timeworn atmosphere while preserving the clarity of its design. Circa 1920 - 1940, it offers the layered character and grounded decorative balance associated with this woven tradition.
