Sunset Ends — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (3.3 × 13.8 ft)
This antique Malayer runner from persian (3.3 × 13.8 ft) radiates with the warm glow of Persian artistry, especially in its striking end panels — glowing in a sunset-like gradient of terracotta and saffron, adorned with stylized trees and floral emblems. These mirrored spandrels frame a richly patterned field woven on a midnight ground, filled with flowering shrubs, rosettes, and geometric latticework in rust red, ivory, soft coral, and sage.
The field is animated by mirrored arrangements of tree-of-life-inspired motifs, offering a continuous vertical rhythm that draws the eye through the length of the piece. An ivory border filled with scrolling vines and tribal leaf elements encloses the composition, with inner rust guards enhancing the frame’s visual depth.
This piece is an ideal statement for long entryways, hallways, or open transitional zones where its color balance and antique charm can shine. Its warmth, symmetry, and natural age patina make it both visually rich and emotionally resonant.
