Circa: 1920.
Hand-knotted antique Malayer runner from Persia, circa 1920, this one-of-a-kind rug showcases a finely drawn lattice field framed by multiple geometric borders in a softly aged palette. The elongated format, intricate repeat pattern, and time-softened contrast give it the collector appeal of a classic village weaving with strong decorative versatility. An ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
Faded neutral tones of blue gray, taupe, brown, ivory, charcoal, and gold, with a blue gray 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.
