About the Item

"Persian Malayer Runner Rug" A Tapestry of a Persian Village: The Intricate Artistry of a Malayer Runner This exquisite runner is a breathtaking example of the dense and intricate artistry for which the Malayer region of Iran is celebrated. Every square inch of this textile tells a story, woven with a stunning variety of stylized motifs and a palette of warm, earthy colors that have been mellowed to perfection over time. As a masterpiece of the Hand-Knotted technique, it represents the pinnacle of Persian village weaving, offering a unique blend of rustic charm and sophisticated design. The design is a classic Malayer all-over pattern, where the entire field is covered with a repeating, interlocking network of stylized floral and "boteh" (paisley) motifs. This creates a mesmerizing "woven mosaic" effect, full of movement and texture that invites the eye to explore its incredible detail. The lack of a central medallion gives this Transitional rug a unique versatility, allowing its rich texture to serve as a sophisticated foundation in both modern and traditional interiors. The color palette is a harmonious symphony of warm, sun-baked earth tones that give the rug a soulful and inviting character. The use of natural dyes has created beautiful, subtle variations (known as 'abrash') that add depth and affirm its authenticity. Here is an approximate breakdown of the colors: Terracotta / Rust / Brown 55% The dominant, warm color family forming the intricate field pattern. Golden Ochre / Beige 25% The lighter background color that allows the main motifs to pop. Dusty Rose / Pink 10% A key accent color, most noticeably defining the inner guard borders. Muted Blue / Teal 7% Used for small, cool-toned details within the floral motifs. Ivory / Cream 3% Used sparingly for bright highlights and outlines. Crafted from 100% Wool, this runner has a dense, low pile that has been worn to a velvety softness over the years, a cherished quality in vintage rugs. The lustrous wool fibers, typical of high-quality Malayer weavings, catch the light beautifully, enhancing the richness of the natural dyes. With its long and elegant dimensions of 35 by 159 inches, this Runner Rug is perfectly suited to bring warmth, color, and a deep sense of authentic Persian history to a hallway, entryway, or alongside a grand piece of furniture. It is a timeless investment in beauty and craftsmanship.
