Throughout the long and narrow field, complex vine scrolls criss-cross one another in the background, with an intriguing array of geometric floral elements peppered throughout.

Antique Persian Malayer Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: First Quarter of the 20th Century – Here is a compelling and extremely decorative brown with touches of blue antique rug – an antique Persian Malayer runner rug. the beautiful example was woven in Persia during the 1920’s. A unique and intriguing example, this long and narrow antique Persian Malayer runner rug is characterized by a deep sense of geometric experimentation. For instance, the borders feature a complex interplay of line work, as well as highly abstract, geometric floral design elements. All of this is rendered in soft an complementary shades of blues and browns. The field, meanwhile, exhibits the same aesthetic tendency, but on a grander scale. Throughout the length of the long and narrow field, complex vine scrolls crisscross one another in the background, with an intriguing array of geometric floral elements peppered throughout. As in the border, this is all rendered in blues and browns – with the notable exception of a couple of pairs of flowers rendered in deep red. These stand out enough from the rest of the carpet to break up the composition, but not so much so that they interrupt its narrative.
