Bold Geometry, Rich History — Antique Malayer Runner from Persia (3.1 × 13.5 ft)
An intricate mosaic of angular floral motifs and tribal symbolism, this antique Malayer runner from Persia (3.1 × 13.5 ft) is a striking example of village weaving at its most expressive. The rug’s elongated field bursts with repeating cross-hatch medallions, framed by serrated palmettes and stylized leafy forms that pulse with vibrant rhythm across its length.
Woven in a saturated palette of deep brick red, midnight blue, camel, and soft ivory, the piece is bordered by a series of layered guard bands filled with diamond rosettes and zigzag tracery — adding to its rich visual depth. Its generous length makes it ideal for long hallways or gallery-style spaces in need of warmth and pattern.
Though over a century old, the rug maintains a powerful graphic presence, showing the endurance of hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes. Perfect for lovers of classic tribal designs and authentic antique character.
