Malayer Camelhair 1703

Step into the world of authentic tribal artistry with this beautiful and rare Persian Malayer Camelhair Long Runner hand-knotted in the early 20th century.  This Persian runner is a true connoisseur's piece, celebrated for its unique and unusual design, and sought-after for its exceptional quality and character.

This runner features a captivating large medallion pattern, a design rarely seen in Malayer runners, which gives it a distinct and commanding presence. The designs in both the field and the border are a beautiful homage to the renowned Kurdish rugs of Northwestern Persia, showcasing a shared artistic heritage.

The color palette is a joyful and vibrant blend, with design colors in the field that include serene blue, verdant green, delicate pink, and luminous yellow. The use of natural vegetable dyes creates a subtle and charming abrash effect, where natural tonal variations within the same color add depth, authenticity, and a sense of history. The border, in a beautiful light salmon color, provides a warm and harmonious frame for the lively field.  The use of natural camel hair, a hallmark of Malayer rugs, gives this runner a unique texture and a sophisticated, earthy feel.
