This antique Malayer runner (5 × 11.1 ft) is a study in balance and repetition, showcasing the classic Herati design in a compact, richly detailed format. The field is saturated with a deep red ground adorned with a diamond lattice of stylized floral motifs in dark blue and beige, creating a rhythmic allover composition that feels timeless and grounded.
Subtle abrash in the field introduces warm tonal variations, giving the rug an aged and authentic presence. The crisp ivory main border, filled with scrolling palmettes and floral meanders, adds visual contrast and frames the composition with elegance.
A beautiful choice for traditional or transitional spaces, this hand-knotted wool piece reflects the meticulous skill of early 20th-century Malayer weaving.
