This antique Persian Malayer runner (3.9 × 15.9 ft) unfolds like a starlit garden, its deep indigo ground scattered with flowering shrubs, abstract botehs, and diamond medallions in a densely packed, all-over layout. The colors are warm and grounded — brick red, saffron, olive, rose — set against a glowing navy field with areas of age-softened wear that give the rug rich depth and character.
Multiple borders of alternating floral and geometric motifs enclose the composition in true village-weaving tradition, balancing movement and symmetry across its extended form. This runner feels both intimate and grand, a perfect marriage of rustic soul and decorative power.
