Mallayer / 26494

This Mallayer antique rug measures 178 x 396 cm and presents a subdued palette of cream, pale blue, muted teal, and warm tan. Its elongated field is organised around a layered floral lattice and a softly pointed medallion, all held within slim geometric guards and an aged outer border with faint boteh-like detail. The drawing has softened with time, allowing the design to read as both intricate and quiet. Circa 1915 - 1930, the rug shows medium distress, with visible fading, wear, and a gently worn edge character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
