Malayer 1602

Beautiful early 20th century Persian Malayer hand-knotted runner.  Originating from the skilled village weavers of the Malayer region in Northwest Persia, this runner embodies the distinctive geometric elegance and robust construction for which these textiles are highly prized.

This beautiful Malayer runner features a striking geometric pattern that unfolds gracefully across a luminous ivory color background. The central design is composed of seven axial diamond medallions, each intricately rendered and set against a subtly variegated ivory and tan background within the medallions themselves. The motifs within these diamonds are brought to life with a rich palette of classic red, deep navy, and warm brown, creating a sophisticated visual interplay.

The main design is elegantly framed by a series of triple narrow borders, meticulously woven in harmonious shades of red and ivory. This layering of borders adds depth, refinement, and a classic finish to the overall composition.

A truly fantastic creation, this antique Malayer runner adds undeniable beauty, grace, and historical authenticity to any space it graces. Its timeless geometric design, balanced coloration, and exceptional craftsmanship make it an ideal acquisition.
