About the Item

78521 Antique Persian Malayer Runner, 03'04 x 14'08. Step into the world of refined collecting with this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug runner, a textile of both prestige and poetic symbolism. Woven in the storied Malayer region of Persia, this exceptional masterpiece bears witness to a weaving tradition that valued artistry as much as function. Its elongated proportions and allover boteh pattern transform it into more than a runner—it becomes a cultural manuscript, a weaving of memory, myth, and mastery, designed for those who understand the subtle language of exclusivity. The signature boteh, the central motif of this composition, is no mere ornament. Often interpreted as a sprouting seed, flame, or teardrop, the boteh embodies fertility, growth, eternal life, and divine protection. Here, rendered in rhythmic repetition across a deep abrashed field, the boteh pattern creates both a mesmerizing visual texture and a symbolic shield for the household it graces. To the discerning eye, this balance of beauty and meaning elevates the precious piece beyond decorative charm into the realm of timeless significance. Framing the field is a harmonious series of borders, layered like architectural moldings around a jewel, each band introducing variations of floral and geometric designs that create a cadence of motion across the runner’s generous length. The interplay of earthy reds, indigo blues, and warm golds—achieved through the masterful use of natural dyes—speaks to both the ingenuity of its weavers and the enduring appeal of Persian aesthetics. Such coloration, softened by time into a noble patina, signals both authenticity and age, hallmarks of a piece destined for connoisseurs. To own this Malayer runner is to inherit not just an artifact but a legacy. It offers the elite collector a chance to support the preservation of artisanal traditions while curating an exquisite work of art whose scarcity and symbolism ensure its permanence as a family heirloom. In grand halls or private galleries, this rug speaks in whispers of cultural depth, protection, and prestige—an object that transforms its surroundings into a sanctuary of meaning and refinement. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'04 x 14'08. Date: 1900's. Early 20th Century.
