Malayer Persian Antique Allover Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1920 BB8847 2'5" × 19'4" $14,000

This antique Persian Malayer runner, woven circa 1920 in northwest Iran, brings the measured elegance of a traditional hand-knotted wool weaving to a long corridor format.

Its light beige field is organized by a disciplined allover trellis of linked diamonds, octagonal nodes, and diagonal vine-like connectors, creating a calm geometric rhythm from end to end. Soft rust, sage, taupe, and warm tan details trace the pattern without breaking its restrained character, while the low-contrast palette lends the rug a quietly aged patina.

A narrow border in related earthy tones frames the composition with the same formal clarity, allowing the design to read as architectural rather than busy. The result is a Malayer runner that feels tailored and versatile, well suited to hallways, galleries, and transitional interiors that call for antique Persian structure and subtle color. Its antique wool pile adds warmth and texture while preserving the crisp geometry prized in collectible Persian runners.

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.
