A calm Mallayer runner in wool, the 99 x 503 cm proportions reveal a close, repeating field of small lozenges and guls framed by narrow guard stripes and a floral vine border. Neutral colours of beige, soft olive, faded rose and warm grey settle into subtle abrash across the length, while medium wear and light repairs have softened pile and edges. The result is a tactile surface that reads as a long, refined ground; the piece carries a quiet sense of age and handcraft as an antique rug. Circa 1900 - 1920
