This grand-scale 3.8 × 16.4 ft antique Malayer runner from persian is a masterpiece of deep elegance and floral intricacy. Set against a midnight navy field, a richly populated all-over Herati pattern blooms in an organized lattice of rosettes, diamond-shaped leaves, and fish motifs, rendered in warm hues of brick, ivory, coral, and sky blue. The elaborate three-part border — with a main band of stylized palmettes flanked by petite rosette guards — enhances the stately rhythm of this piece.
Its elongated proportions and moody palette make it ideal for adding drama and traditional refinement to long corridors, gallery halls, or oversized entryways.
