About the Item

61163 Vintage Persian Malayer Rug Runner, 03'06 x 09'09. Woven beneath the flickering glow of oil lamps in the storied village of Malayer, this hand knotted wool Persian runner unfurls with a lyrical grace, its field teeming with the rhythmic cadence of the Herati motif. A celebration of symmetry and timeless symbolism, the allover pattern reveals a dance of diamond-formed blossoms encircled by lanceolate leaves—each curve whispering the legend of fish gliding through moonlit waters. Against a light pink backdrop, delicate floral medallions in sky blue, chestnut brown, gold, eggplant and olive pulse with quiet vitality, evoking the essence of Persian gardens—eternal, ordered, and overflowing with hidden life. The mastery of the Herati design lies not just in its precision, but in its storytelling. Its geometry, so delicately rendered, is softened by the hand-spun wool and the intimate patina that now graces this runner. As though time itself has gently brushed across its surface, the rug reveals hints of softness in its once-vibrant colors. This antique wash imbues the Malayer rug with a quiet nobility, where each motif becomes less a declaration and more a memory—familiar and timeless, like a song sung low. Encasing the field, a contemplative border of interlacing vines and floral guardians provides gentle containment, echoing the design’s infinite inward spirals. The border’s repeat of serrated rosettes and floral meanders reflects the discipline and ritual of the weaver’s craft, each line drawn from a long cultural lineage of Persian village weavers whose hands moved as vessels of ancestry and intention. This containment does not restrict but honors the field—like a frame around a cherished manuscript or a wall encircling a sacred garden. To walk upon this vintage Malayer runner is to enter a living corridor of tradition, a pathway layered in poetic repetition and enduring balance. It offers not only utility or beauty, but a dialogue with a bygone world—one where patterns were prayers, and wool carried the hopes of nomads and artisans alike. In this runner, geometry becomes spirit, and every stitch is an invitation to wander with reverence through the floral fields of Persian imagination. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'06 x 09'09. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
