Mallayer / 11509

A Mallayer runner refined by soft abrasion and a warm, textural palette. Woven in wool, the red field reads as layered repeating floral medallions and hooked arabesques, set within a cream guard border that frames the composition. Medium distress has softened high points and introduced gentle abrash and scattered surface loss, producing a lived-in, tactile surface that highlights neutral thread-lights. This antique rug measures 3' 9" x 9' 0" and carries a quiet, storied presence that reveals the maker's hand over time. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
