Mallayer / 12792

This Mallayer runner, 104 x 488 cm, is a long wool example with a finely repeated floral and diamond lattice across a red and pink field, set within a neutral palmette border. The piece shows low, consistent wear and soft abrash that lend a worn, collected colour and surface texture. Its narrow, elongated scale and restrained patterning reflect Mallayer design sensibilities, giving the rug a considered, tactile presence. The ensemble reads as an antique rug with careful craft and an even, lived-in patina. Circa 1890 - 1910 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
