Mallayer / 22357

This Mallayer antique rug measures 11' 0" x 17' 1" and carries a layered, time-softened palette of neutral ivory, faded blue, soft green, peach, and brown. The field is arranged in disciplined rows of repeating boteh-like forms, held within a floral border that preserves just enough definition to frame the composition. Its surface shows notable fading and a gentle patina that mute the darker blues and lift the lighter tones. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as calm, worn, and distinctly lived with, an antique rug shaped by age into a quieter, more atmospheric presence.
