Mallayer / 22338

This Mallayer antique rug measures 6' 0" x 13' 6" and carries a time-softened field of muted teal, faded rust, cream, and brown. A large central medallion emerges through an allover floral lattice, while the border frames the composition with stylized boteh and small rosette motifs. The surface shows medium wear and graceful fading, allowing the drawing to read as layered and atmospheric rather than sharp. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the quiet discipline and warmth associated with Mallayer weaving, with a well-aged presence that feels grounded, lived-in, and visually nuanced.
