Floral Majesty — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (3.5 × 11.7 ft)
Rich in color and classical village charm, this antique Malayer runner from persian (measuring 3.5 × 11.7 feet) showcases the signature refinement and symmetry that define Malayer weaving traditions. The navy field blossoms with stylized floral sprays growing upward in mirror repetition, accented by angular vines, palmettes, and tribal rosettes. Each motif feels thoughtfully placed, forming a rhythmic procession across the rug’s elongated format.
Surrounding this blooming field is a rare double border: an inner rust-colored band tightly packed with geometric rosettes, and an outer ivory frame adorned with multicolored starbursts and cross medallions. These vibrant layers give the piece both depth and a grounded finish. The palette—featuring soft ivory, ochre, terracotta, sapphire, and faded green—is richly saturated, yet softened by time into a warm, inviting harmony.
This rug is ideally suited for hallways, gallery-style spaces, or alongside long furniture layouts, where its antique beauty and botanical energy can breathe life into a room.
