Mallayer / 22588

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 2" x 11' 2" and carries a quiet, time-softened presence. The long field is arranged with repeated geometric boteh-like motifs, held within a sequence of narrow borders that add structure without interrupting the worn, rhythmic composition. Brown, neutral, white, and cream tones settle into one another with a muted, earthy depth, while the medium distress level lends the surface an aged, tactile character. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reads as grounded and restrained, with the kind of faded detail that gives an antique rug its lasting appeal.
