About the Item

61053 Vintage Persian Malayer Rug Runner, 03'05 x 09'10. In the twilight of design, emerges this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Malayer rug runner, a composition shrouded in mystery and allure. The all-over pattern, a ballet of Herati motifs, unfolds on a midnight field, akin to secrets exchanged in the hushed depths of the night. In the corners, red star flowers bloom, a vivid contrast against the inky backdrop, their dark pink hue reminiscent of enigmas veiled in shadows. Framed by a stylized floral border and enclosed with an inner and outer cengal hook guard border, it's as if the rug is challenging you to delve deeper into its covert narrative. Dark and exotic, this Persian Herati design, paired with its saturated color palette, conjures visions of a night sky draped over a moonlit garden, a canvas painted in the hues of mystique. Celebrated as the epitome of elegance, the Classic Herati design, also known as the Mahi or Fish pattern, stands as a paragon among the illustrious Persian motifs. At its core, this pattern unveils a captivating floral centerpiece, ensconced within a diamond-shaped embrace. Gracefully adorning this composition are lanceolate leaves, their delicate curves echoing the fluid grace of fish. The Herati motif carries profound significance in the tapestry of Iranian culture, symbolizing the emergence of small fish just beneath the water's surface. These aquatic beings navigate the depths with balletic finesse, their movements harmonizing with the ethereal glow of the full moon's reflection. Within the Herati design, a poetic narrative unfolds, encapsulating the beauty of nature and the timeless dance of life beneath the moonlit heavens. Dark and evocative, with an alluring intrique that lingers in the air, this vintage Persian runner is an irresistible presence, a testament to its nomadic roots and dynamic personality. It's not merely a rug; it's a tacit storyteller, weaving tales of ancient nights and undiscovered journeys. A magic carpet, so to speak, but one that confines its flights to the realm of imagination. Whether you aim to enchant your guests or simply seek refinement in the shadows, this Persian hallway rug unfurls its enigmatic embrace. Step into the allure of enchantment, where every thread murmurs tales of a captivating past and an undiscovered mystique. Rendered in variegated shades of black midnight, ink blue, red, dark pink, coffee, brown, aubergine, taupe and navy blue with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'05 x 09'10. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century. This has a matching piece: 3 x 10 Vintage Persian Malayer Rug 61036.
