Timeless Grandeur in Every Step — Antique Malayer Runner from Persia (3.2 × 15.1 ft)
A testament to the refined artistry of Persian village weavers, this antique Malayer runner (3.2 × 15.1 ft) showcases a remarkably balanced all-over design, full of intricate detail and rhythmic symmetry. The field is filled with stylized boteh motifs arranged in a tight lattice pattern — a symbol of life and fertility — alternating with floral elements in tones of rust red, soft indigo, gold, and ivory.
The luminous wool pile bears the hallmark of hand-spun quality, its abrash revealing the weaver’s organic dye transitions that enrich the overall character. Framed by multiple guard borders and a broader floral main border in deep navy and terracotta, the rug achieves both structure and decorative harmony.
With its elongated form and aged patina, this Malayer runner is ideal for elevating hallways, gallery-style corridors, or alongside a long dining table in a heritage-inspired home.
