Mallayer / 31091

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 8" x 6' 8" and carries a timeworn surface softened by broad fading and layered abrasion. A field of muted teal holds a central medallion and scattered floral and boteh motifs, all filtered through a pale, washed patina that lends quiet depth. The rust-toned border introduces angular geometry and steady framing, while the worn ivory highlights keep the composition light. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as heritage-minded and expressive, with the kind of visual complexity that comes from age and use. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
