Mallayer / 17324

This Mallayer antique rug, 10' 3" x 18' 7", presents an elongated field of layered floral geometry in a restrained, time-softened palette. Cream, brown, white, and muted teal tones settle into a dark ground, while repeating medallions and boteh-like motifs create a steady rhythm across the composition. A finely drawn border frames the field with quiet precision. Circa 1880 - 1900, the surface shows medium wear, fading, and scattered abrash that lend depth and patina without losing the clarity of the design. It carries the grounded elegance and lived-in texture that define a well-kept antique rug.
