This antique Malayer runner, woven in Persia circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a striking tribal geometric design arranged in a long repeating sequence. Its deep navy field is animated by rust, ivory, and soft blue motifs, framed by crisp guard borders that emphasize the rug’s finely articulated pattern and classic village craftsmanship. A distinctive hand-knotted antique runner with strong decorative presence, it is especially well-suited for a hallway, entryway, or narrow passage.
Muted cool tones of navy, rust, ivory, indigo, camel, and slate, with a navy 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.
