Mallayer / 28654

This Mallayer antique rug measures 2' 10" x 16' 8" and presents a long, refined field anchored by repeated floral medallions and scrolling boteh-like ornament. The palette moves between teal blue, brown, rust red, ivory, and muted salmon, with a lively border that frames the composition in disciplined contrast. Low distress and softened wear give the surface a gently aged, tactile presence without obscuring the pattern. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the balanced character and rhythmic detail associated with a well-considered Mallayer antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
