Faded Flame — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (2.11 × 12 ft)
Glowing with the warmth of sunbaked clay and softened by a century of age, this antique Malayer runner from persian (2.11 × 12 ft) showcases the enduring charm of village weaving. The densely patterned field features an allover design of boteh motifs and rosettes in rust red, soft peach, and black, creating a layered texture that shimmers with subtle movement. Fading and abrash across the surface — particularly in the center — add to its authentic timeworn elegance.
Ivory corner spandrels and borders with stepped floral motifs frame the rug with balance and lightness, offering contrast to the saturated interior. The crisp geometric lines and delicate serrations of the botehs speak to the refined tribal artistry that defines antique Malayer pieces.
This runner’s versatile palette and distressed finish make it an ideal fit for curated interiors — whether rustic, bohemian, or modern spaces in search of character and soul. It can transform a hallway or entryway into a story-rich passageway of Persian craftsmanship.
