Mahal Ziegler / 11683

A Mahal Ziegler runner in wool, 4' 0" x 16' 9", with a neutral ground enlivened by red and cream palmettes set in a compact allover lattice. Low distress preserves crisp floral outlines while gentle abrash and faint tonality shifts provide depth and a lived surface. Narrow guard borders of repeating rosettes frame the elongated field and punctuate the measured rhythm of motifs. The balance of restrained colour and patterned repetition gives this antique rug a quiet, tactile presence. Circa 1885 - 1905 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
