Mallayer / 25739

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 6" x 15' 5" and presents a long, narrow field structured by stacked boteh-like motifs in deep indigo, ivory, brown, and muted rust. The pattern reads with clarity despite visible wear, while the narrow floral border and softened guard bands lend a layered, timeworn character. A darker lower section adds contrast to the more faded upper field, creating subtle shifts in tone across the length. Circa 1900 - 1935, it carries the quiet depth and irregularity that define a well-aged antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
