Antique Malayer Persian Allover Warm Tan Runner In Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1920 BB8264 4'0" × 15'0" $14,000

This antique Persian Malayer runner, woven circa 1920, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the village weaving tradition of western Persia. Its long, narrow format and allover layout give it the presence of a formal antique runner while keeping the composition quietly restrained and elegant.

A warm tan field is filled with a dense trellis of small geometric and floral forms, built from rosettes, blossoms, and linked angular motifs. The repeated pattern creates a measured cadence from end to end, adding texture and movement without relying on a central medallion, and the tight drawing keeps the surface visually coherent.

The border is clearly drawn, with companion bands of stylized vine work and compact cartouches in beige, light brown, and soft taupe. That muted palette lends the piece an aged, versatile character, making it well suited to hallways, stair landings, or any interior that calls for antique Persian pattern, warmth, and a sense of history.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
