Mallayer / 25546

This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 4' 8" x 7' 11", presents a field of repeating boteh forms framed by layered borders and fine floral detail. The palette moves between coral red, teal blue, brown, cream, and pale aqua, creating a dense but balanced composition with a quietly weathered surface. Low distress leaves the pattern legible while lending the rug a softened, lived-in depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the disciplined ornament and tonal complexity associated with Mallayer weaving, with just enough irregularity to keep the design feeling tactile and rooted in age.
