Mallayer / 23076

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 371 x 503 cm, is composed with rows of boteh-like motifs across a softly layered field, enclosed by a floral border and fine inner framing. The palette of neutral, white, cream, taupe, and faded blue lends the design a weathered calm, with pattern and ground gently blending into one another. Medium distress is visible in the faded surfaces and softened detail, creating a tranquil, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the restrained elegance and aged character often sought in an antique rug of this type.
