Mallayer / 31059

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 4" x 11' 9", offering a long, narrow format with a disciplined yet lively surface. A deep navy ground carries repeating boteh-like floral motifs in terracotta, rust, and ivory, while multiple borders build a structured frame in neutral tones with flashes of red, blue, and camel. The drawing feels compact and hand-rendered, with softened contrast that speaks to age without losing clarity. Circa 1880 - 1900, it has the grounded warmth and graphic rhythm that define this Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
