Mallayer / 32026

This Mallayer antique rug measures 3' 1" x 13' 6" and carries a long, narrow silhouette with an allover field of scrolling florals and boteh-like forms. The palette settles into ivory, taupe, brown, and muted grey, with the design partially softened by extensive wear and age. A restrained floral border holds the composition in place while the center field reads as gracefully distressed and atmospheric. Circa 1900 - 1930, it offers the quiet depth and timeworn character that define a well-worn antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
