Stag & Blossom — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (3.4 × 13.3 ft)
This rare and richly detailed antique Malayer runner from persian (3.4 × 13.3 ft) weaves together natural beauty and tribal storytelling in a masterful village composition. The centerpiece of the rug is a mirrored series of medallions filled with stylized floral bouquets, flanked by elegantly rendered animals — including prancing deer or stags — a motif believed to represent vitality and protection in Persian folk art.
The runner’s elongated field is set on a deep indigo background and packed with rust-red latticework, rosettes, abstract vines, and diamond motifs. The ivory and coral-tone end panels are woven into elongated hexagonal medallions, providing structure and visual rhythm. Framed by a charming border of multicolored stars and cross motifs, this runner balances energy and symmetry.
Perfect for long corridors, stairways, or gallery walls, this piece carries both aesthetic richness and symbolic meaning. Its age-softened wool and subtle color variations speak to its authenticity and legacy as a true heirloom.
