Mallayer / 22357

This Mallayer antique rug measures 335 x 521 cm and carries a layered, time-softened palette of neutral ivory, faded blue, soft green, peach, and brown. The field is set in ordered rows of repeating boteh-like forms, enclosed by a floral border with palmette accents that remains legible despite age. Its surface shows evident fading and a gentle patina, with softened contrast across the blues and lighter tones. Circa 1900 - 1915, it has the restrained depth and weathered character that come from years of use, a quietly articulate piece with a heritage-forward presence.
