This antique Malayer runner, woven in Persia circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a richly detailed all-over Herati-inspired design set against a deep midnight field. Its layered border system, finely drawn floral and geometric motifs, and beautifully aged palette of rust, rose, ivory, and charcoal give it the refined character collectors prize in early 20th-century village rugs. A striking choice for a hallway, entryway, or alongside a bed.
Faded warm tones of charcoal, rust, rose, ivory, taupe, and burgundy, with a charcoal field.
Malayer rugs are woven in and around the town of Malayer in western Iran, within the greater Hamadan district. Comprising over a hundred villages each with its own subtle design traditions, the Malayer region produces hand-knotted rugs on a cotton foundation using the symmetrical Turkish knot — finer and more tightly woven than most Hamadan work.
Malayer designs tend toward the geometric, with herati, mahi (fish), and stylized floral patterns rendered in a traditional palette of deep indigo, madder red, and ivory. Their precise drawing, durable construction, and handsome proportions make antique Malayer rugs a consistently sought-after choice for collectors and decorators alike.
