Mallayer / 12763

A Mallayer wool runner in a warm red field, offset by cream and white borders with soft pink highlights. At 86 x 358 cm the slim proportions emphasise a repeating sequence of hooked medallions and small geometric florals rendered with clear definition. The piece shows low wear and a soft pile, with subtle abrash that enriches the red colour and preserves the pattern’s depth. Cream guard borders provide a restrained frame while the surface retains a tactile, time-softened quality. This antique rug reads as a quietly composed object of age and craft. Circa 1900 - 1915
