Handmade antique Persian Malayer runner rug 77cm x 382cm, 1920s

This handmade antique Persian Malayer runner rug was woven in the Malayer region of Persia in the 1920s. Malayer carpets are celebrated for their harmonious interplay of geometric patterns and floral motifs, hand-knotted in durable wool over a cotton foundation. This exceptional piece exemplifies the technical expertise and regional identity of early 20th-century Persian tribal design. With impressive dimensions of 77cm X 382cm, this runner is ideal for long hallways, gallery walls, or alongside furniture. The rug features a rich red field, softly distressed with age, and delicate geometric and floral motifs in cream and dark outlines. Crafted with symmetrical knotting on a cotton foundation, it displays finely looped knots and low wool pile typical of Malayer weavers. The wear is consistent and even, giving it a softly faded, authentic antique patina. Its warm palette and linear layout make it suitable for classic or modern interiors that appreciate subtle vintage narrative. 1C1143.
