Vintage Persian Malayer Small Runner

No. 31888
Persia, Mid-20th Century
3 ft. 1 in. x 10 ft. 1 in.
(0.93 x 3.05 m)

A wool pile with symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Many Malayer rugs, in various formats, feature variants of Caucasian patterns. This piece showcases three radiating, outlined medallions in the general 'Eagle Kazak' style, set on a sand-colored field. The overall palette is light, with slate accents and outlines. While Malayer and its surrounding smaller towns have been weaving rugs for at least two centuries, no single design tradition has ever been firmly established. The sand-colored border displays trains of highly geometric flowers.
