Beautifully Decorative Antique Persian Malayer Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – This beautiful and decorative antique Persian Malayer rug, a magnificent runner rug, is designed to draw attention in a single, uniform line of motion. Through its impressive length, this antique Persian rug conveys a sense of movement, taking the viewer on a journey through the elegant lines and beautiful floral motifs and patterns. Red, gold and black hues define the palette, dominating the landscape in a clever arrangement that brings volcanic elements to mind. A single primary border defines the antique rug, and elegantly arching lines create a sense of beautiful grounding, with attractive petals and vines standing out against the inky blackness of the background. Within the border is a sprawling field of flowers, symmetrical and soothing in the clear paths the natural shapes take across the canvas.
