Terracotta Harmony — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (2.10 × 12 ft)
Rich with earthy warmth and tribal rhythm, this antique Malayer runner from persian (2.10 × 12 ft) features a dense allover design set against a glowing terracotta field. Tiny boteh forms, stylized blossoms, and geometric diamonds form an endless lattice across the rug, creating texture and movement while maintaining visual balance. The symmetry of the pattern and fine detailing showcase the exceptional skill of Malayer weavers in the early 20th century.
The field is framed by a striking ivory border filled with diagonally placed flower heads and abstract geometric rosettes, providing a crisp visual break that enhances the vibrancy of the inner design. Narrow rust-toned guard borders contain the composition with a gentle, continuous rhythm.
This piece is perfectly suited for narrower hallways or stair landings, where its slim proportions and luminous color can warm up transitional spaces. The rug’s natural age patina, visible abrash, and soft wear add to its antique authenticity and enduring charm.
