About the Item
60992 Antique Persian Malayer Rug Runner, 03'00 x 12'02. Woven with the soul of a poet and the hand of a master craftsman, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug runner speaks softly in a language of timeless beauty. Its antique-washed field, a serene blend of moonlit cerulean and sun-kissed sand, shimmers with gentle abrash, casting a dreamlike veil over its classical Herati design. Like a poem written across time, the field blossoms with rosettes encased in diamonds, each flanked by curving lanceolate leaves that echo the forms of graceful fish gliding beneath the rippling surface of a still garden pool.
The Herati motif—also known as the Mahi or “fish” pattern—is among the most revered in Persian rug design, a tribute to harmony in motion. Its symbolic narrative speaks of small fish swimming in tandem under the light of the full moon, evoking prosperity, fertility, and the eternal cycles of nature. This flowing pattern creates a rhythmic lattice across the runner, lending a sense of calm continuity and timeless grace, ideal for hallways where footsteps become meditations on movement.
Framing the piece is a softly defined botanical border, its blossoms and vines entwined in a dialogue with the runner’s central field. The double guard bands echo a diamond motif, enclosing the composition like a whispered benediction. The interplay of light and shadow, accentuated in the additional images showing both the light and dark sides, reveals the nuanced character of the rug—one that shifts with time, light, and perception, much like a treasured memory revisited again and again.
This antique Persian Malayer runner radiates quiet charisma and masculine poise, perfectly suited for a space that seeks relaxed sophistication. With its delicate palette, enchanting motifs, and storied past, it doesn’t merely occupy a hallway—it transforms it into a passage of poetry, inviting all who pass to pause, breathe, and journey inward.
Rendered in variegated shades of cerulean, tan, Aegean blue, pink, light green, sand, Prussian blue, ecru, rose, verdigris, sky blue, brown, baby blue and magenta with other accent colors.
