Mallayer / 24661

This Mallayer antique rug measures 119 x 165 cm, presenting a softly worn field of repeating boteh-like forms within a refined sequence of borders. The palette settles into neutral ivory, brown, green, faded blue, and rust red, with a darker outer guard that frames the composition. Age has softened the contrast and left a tactile, lived-in surface, with medium distress and subtle irregularity along the edges. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the balanced geometry and muted elegance associated with the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
