About the Item

19th Century Antique Persian Malayer Wool Runner Size: 3'8" × 28'10" (111 × 878 cm) This antique Persian Malayer runner from the 1880s encapsulates the refined artistry and deep-rooted tradition of village weaving in Western Iran. Showcasing a harmonious interplay of warm terracotta, camel, and deep indigo tones, the rug is adorned with an intricate Herati-inspired allover floral lattice that reflects the region’s renowned design vocabulary. The layout is tightly composed with a dense botanical tapestry featuring stylized palmettes, rosettes, and abstract floral motifs interlinked with elegant vine scrolls. The hand-knotted wool has mellowed beautifully over time, lending the piece a desirable patina and subtle variation in tone that enhances its antique character. Framed by a series of delicately patterned borders, the rug maintains visual rhythm and balance, while its elongated form makes it a perfect choice for hallways, stair landings, or transitional spaces. Woven with expert craftsmanship and imbued with the quiet sophistication of Persian village aesthetics, this Malayer runner offers both historical depth and timeless elegance for collectors and interior connoisseurs alike. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
