A Mahal Ziegler runner in wool, 122 x 511 cm, with a neutral ground warmed by red and cream palmettes in a repeating allover lattice. Low distress keeps floral detail legible while subtle abrash and soft tonal shifts add layered depth and a gently worn surface. Narrow guard borders of compact rosettes contain the elongated composition and emphasise pattern rhythm and texture. This antique rug reads as considered and tactile, a study in restrained colour and heritage pattern. Circa 1885 - 1905 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
