Timeless Sophistication — Antique Malayer Runner from persian (3.2 × 13.2 ft)
Unfold a piece of Persian history with this exquisite antique Malayer runner, handwoven in persian. Measuring 3.2 × 13.2 feet, this piece is a true testament to the rich weaving traditions of Malayer—known for its intricate detailing, elegant geometry, and expressive tribal motifs. The deep navy field is rhythmically adorned with stylized boteh and rosette patterns in soft terracotta, ivory, and muted sapphire, forming a continuous, almost meditative latticework down the length of the rug.
A richly detailed border frames the central field, featuring angular vine and leaf motifs rendered in a crisp ivory, bringing both contrast and cohesion to the design. This runner’s narrow, elongated form makes it perfect for hallways, stair landings, or narrow transitional spaces, where its bold, repeating motifs can guide the eye and ground the architecture.
Woven over a century ago, this Malayer runner has retained its strength and clarity, with subtle age-related patina that adds to its soulful character. Its balanced palette and rhythmic structure make it an elegant match for traditional interiors or a striking contrast in modern, minimalist settings.
