This striking antique Malayer runner (3.3 × 12.8 ft) showcases the rich heritage of Persian village weaving with its densely detailed latticework design. The field features a repeating pattern of lozenge-shaped medallions, each enclosing floral rosettes and vine scrolls, all set against a creamy ivory ground. Subtle shades of dusty rose, faded teal, walnut brown, and sky blue bring layered elegance to this traditional piece.
A wide double border, with alternating boteh and floral cartouches, frames the composition with a rhythmic precision, adding structure and balance to the intricate field.
Woven with fine wool and great care, this runner is ideal for elongated spaces like hallways, stair landings, or alongside kitchen islands — where its visual rhythm and muted tones can lead the eye gracefully through a room.
