About the Item

Unearth History: Antique Hand-Knotted Persian Malayer Runner (Circa 1920s) Embark on a journey back in time with this exquisite antique Persian Malayer runner. Dating to the 1920s, this hand-knotted wool rug from western Iran is a living testament to celebrated textile artistry. Its captivating geometric design and classic palette infuse any elongated space with warmth, character, and profound history. More than just a floor covering, it's a meticulously crafted piece of antiquity, ready to become a cherished focal point. ◾Striking Medallions & Classic Hues This Malayer runner immediately draws the eye with its bold, distinctive design. Two prominent, diamond-shaped medallions, rendered in deep navy blue with intricate geometric patterns, sit against a rich ivory field. The dominant colors of ivory, navy blue, and vibrant reds create a striking, versatile contrast. ◾Intricate Tribal Motifs The medallions are connected and flanked by compelling geometric segments and tribal motifs, in varying shades of red and blue. The ivory field is subtly textured with countless tiny knots, creating beautiful depth. Meticulously framed by multiple guard bands, featuring repeating geometric patterns in contrasting reds, blues, and ivory, the borders add significant visual depth. ◾Enduring Malayer Craftsmanship Originating from the Malayer region, renowned for durable rugs, this piece exemplifies Persian craftsmanship. Malayer rugs are prized for their robust construction and dense, resilient wool pile, contributing to their exceptional longevity. The hand-knotting technique, passed down through generations, ensures each rug is a unique artifact of cultural tradition. High-quality, likely hand-spun and vegetable-dyed wool, exhibits subtle color variations ("abrash"), affirming its handmade origin and unique charm. ◾Traditional Style, Timeless Appeal As a "Traditional" style rug, it perfectly embodies the raw beauty of tribal and village Persian weaving. Its linear format makes it an ideal choice for hallways or as a sophisticated accent, guiding the eye and adding warmth. Its antique status, specifically dating to the 1920s, imbues it with desirable patina and tangible history unmatched by modern rugs. ◾An Investment in Art & History Choosing an antique Persian Malayer runner means acquiring genuine textile art with a profound narrative. These rugs are cultural artifacts, reflecting the lives and expressions of their weavers. Their handmade nature and significant age ensure each Malayer rug is truly one-of-a-kind. This runner offers exquisite aesthetic appeal and a deep connection to a celebrated weaving tradition, promising to be a cherished heirloom.
