Malayer 1185

A rare and visually captivating vintage Persian Malayer runner, hand-knotted in the mid-20th century, featuring a distinctive robin’s egg blue field—an uncommon and highly sought-after color in Persian village weaving. The central design showcases six connected axial medallions, each bearing intricate floral motifs in navy, ivory, and blue, all set within warm red cartouches that create a rhythmic and balanced composition.

The runner is framed by an elegant ivory border adorned with stylized geometric and floral elements in red, green, and blue, adding a refined contrast to the soft, luminous field. This piece is a superb example of Malayer craftsmanship, known for its fine weave, inventive designs, and sophisticated color palettes. Perfectly suited for hallways, gallery-style spaces, or layering in eclectic and transitional interiors.
