Floral Geometry — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (3.2 × 15 ft)

This antique Malayer runner from persian (3.2 × 15 ft) captures the essence of Persian village weaving with its richly layered, tightly structured field and warm, saturated palette. The design is built around a repeating lattice of stylized floral medallions and angular cross motifs, rendered in rust, brick, ivory, and midnight blue — evoking both movement and symmetry.

Framing this botanical rhythm are rare ivory spandrels at both ends, filled with sharply stepped motifs and rosette-filled corners, providing a dynamic visual anchor to the composition. The borders are boldly drawn: a main outer band filled with a scrolling vine and floral motif in red and cream, flanked by narrow inner guards that enhance the crispness of the overall piece.

This rug’s generous length and tribal charm make it a standout choice for long hallways, entry galleries, or alongside large furniture where it can guide the eye and ground the space with authenticity. The wool has aged beautifully, displaying the soft sheen and gentle abrash typical of antique Malayer craftsmanship.
