Malayer Antique Runner,
This 4'10" × 16'7" Malayer Antique runner is a Persian hand-knotted wool rug with a long, elegant format and a beautifully aged village character. The field features a repeated small-scale pattern in warm red and earthy tones, creating a steady rhythm along the full length of the runner. The borders add structure and contrast with ivory, navy, soft blue, rust, brown, and muted accent colors, giving the rug a traditional and authentic antique presence.
The design has a quiet, refined quality. Instead of a large medallion, the rug uses an all-over repeating pattern that gives the runner movement, texture, and balance. The narrow and extended shape makes it especially suitable for a hallway, long entry, gallery corridor, stair landing, or any space that needs warmth and direction. Its aged surface, softened colors, and handmade irregularities give the piece a sense of history and individuality.
Malayer rugs come from the Malayer region of western Persia, located near important weaving areas such as Hamadan, Sarouk, and Sultanabad. Antique Malayer rugs are admired for their durable wool, village craftsmanship, and distinctive blend of geometric and floral design. They often combine practical strength with decorative beauty, making them highly appreciated by collectors and designers.
Hand-knotted from wool, this runner offers natural warmth, texture, and lasting durability. More than simply a hallway rug, this Malayer Antique runner is a piece of Persian weaving heritage, bringing antique charm, traditional color, and timeless handmade character into the home.
