About the Item

This antique Persian Malayer gallery runner (circa 1900–1920) is a hand-knotted wool piece of elevated quality, sized for long, narrow hallways and gallery corridors. Its total area of approximately 6.2 sq. meters (≈ 67 sq. ft.) places it in the classic gallery-runner category. The rug is woven on a traditional cotton foundation with a cut wool pile, offering a comfortable medium thickness and good drape for practical use. As a genuine antique and one-of-a-kind textile, it reflects the acclaimed craftsmanship of Malayer workshops during the early 20th century. Its design features a strongly directional layout organized around a prayer-niche inspired mihrab at one end, mirrored visually at the opposite end for balance. The field presents a dense, repeating scalloped lattice pattern with small floral and boteh-like elements throughout, creating a rhythmic geometric structure. Rich rust brown dominates the palette, framed by warm burnt orange and cream borders that contrast decisively with the darker charcoal field. Additional notes of forest green and soft lavender bring depth and subtle chromatic interest, with authentic abrash adding character across the borders and field. The hand-knotted construction and medium-durability wool pile give it strength suited to regular household use, especially in protected corridors. Classified as Wear Grade A, it balances longevity with vintage textile sensitivity. A felt or felt-rubber combination pad is recommended to stabilize the runner and protect the foundation. For interior designers, this runner contributes warmth, structure, and visual lengthening to circulation spaces. Its geometric tribal character pairs well with earthy, natural wood tones, classical décor, and transitional schemes seeking artisanal authenticity. The narrow, elongated proportions make it ideal for hallways, entry vestibules, library corridors, and stair landings. Condition is reported as excellent for its age, with no notable stains, repairs, odors, or moth risk. Dye behavior receives a protective caution rating (“B”), so professional cleaning with pre-testing for red and blue dye stability is advised. This collectible Malayer runner retains strong value-holding characteristics due to its rarity, artistry, and antique status.
