Timeless Detail in a Village Palette — Antique Malayer Runner from Persia (3.2 × 11.10 ft)
A striking example of antique village weaving, this Persian Malayer runner (3.2 × 11.10 ft) features a meticulous allover pattern of small floral medallions organized in a repeat lattice. The ivory field offers a refreshing lightness, contrasted by jewel-toned blossoms and finely drawn vines in deep red, sapphire, olive, and golden ochre. The crisp, angular geometry of the border balances the organic, hand-drawn charm of the interior design.
Woven by hand in the Malayer district, this runner reflects the refinement of rural Persian artistry while remaining grounded in rustic authenticity. Ideal for hallways, gallery spaces, or alongside a long table, its narrow proportions make it both decorative and practical. The naturally aged wool pile displays beautiful abrash and patina, adding layers of character only time can create.
