Dimensions: 2'4" x 15'8" (71 cm x 478 cm).
Circa: 1920.
Antique Persian Malayer runner, circa 1920, hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind, with a softly aged palette and a long, elegant format that showcases the region’s refined village drawing. The pale blue field is layered with repeating geometric floral motifs, ivory corner spandrels, and a narrow camel border, creating a balanced composition with visible age-softened character and collector appeal. Its slender 2' x 15' proportions make it especially well-suited for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded cool tones of pale blue, ivory, taupe, camel, gold, charcoal, and rose, with a pale blue 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.
