Beautiful Geometric Design Antique Tribal Persian Malayer Runner Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1920

The weaver created traditional herati designs and offset them by employing far more modern contemporary colors. The actual colors featured in this antique tribal rug include an array of browns, blues, rusts, creams and grays. This approach of old world design meets new world coloration reflects the individual character and artistic preferences of the weaver who created this magnificent antique runner rug.

This antique tribal Persian Malayer runner rug symmetrical feel. That said, the antique rug featured very small subtle design nuances that break up the actual symmetry. While they may look identical at first glance, the field areas at the top and bottom as well as side to side are not mirror images of each other.

These subtle design nuances create a great amount of interest and reflects the individuality of the Persian rugs that were produced in the Malayer region. This is a quality that one does not often find among the rigid structure of the major Persian city rug productions.
