Elegant Density — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (3.5 × 9.11 ft)
Refined and richly detailed, this antique Malayer runner from persian (3.5 × 9.11 ft) exemplifies the precision and artistry for which Malayer weavers are celebrated. The field is a tightly packed lattice of stylized botanical and geometric motifs, woven in a deep midnight indigo and contrasted by soft rose, ivory, faded peach, and muted teal — a palette that feels both timeless and sophisticated.
What gives this rug exceptional character is its broad ivory border, adorned with angular floral cartouches and stylized corner rosettes that provide visual breathing room around the intricate central field. The rhythm and density of the design create a beautiful visual texture that reads as both delicate and commanding.
This runner’s proportions are ideal for entryways, corridors, or behind sofas where its antique charm and tactile softness will warm up the space. The age-worn patina adds to its authenticity, making it not just a decorative accent but a true heirloom artifact.
