Mallayer / 22584

This Mallayer antique rug measures 142 x 323 cm and carries a softly worn, tonal presence in faded blue, ivory and taupe. Its field is filled with a repeating boteh-like rhythm, blurred in places by age into a gentle, almost watercolour effect. The border adds structure through geometric panels, narrow guard stripes and small floral accents, keeping the composition balanced and clear. Medium distress is visible throughout, with abrash, fading and softened edges lending warmth and character. Circa 1900 - 1935, it reflects the quiet intricacy and heritage feel often associated with a finely aged Mallayer.
