Stretching over thirteen feet in length, this antique Malayer runner from Persia makes a dramatic impression with its elongated form and richly detailed pattern. Woven in a sophisticated palette of earthy reds, midnight blue, camel, and soft ivory, the rug's repeating boteh (paisley) and floral lattice motifs are masterfully arranged within a narrow field that speaks to both tribal roots and refined elegance.
The borders, intricately drawn with alternating blossoms and serrated leaves, frame the central panel like an ornate manuscript. Hand-knotted in the early 20th century, this piece shows subtle signs of age and abrash, which only add to its character and collectibility. Its proportions and resilient wool pile make it a stellar candidate for grand hallways, long galleries, or even as a grounding piece in a luxury dressing corridor.
