Hazel - 3'2" x 16'3"
Naturally-Aged Vintage Persian Malayer Runner
3'2" x 16'3" | 96 cm x 495 cm
OVERVIEW
This exceptional Persian Malayer runner, crafted circa 1950s, is hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation with a low pile/shaved texture. This piece features a sophisticated palette of beige and brown, with powder blue and ivory accents highlighting the vertical medallion design.
COLORS & DETAILS
The field presents a light beige base with harmonious color transitions. Brown geometric patterns define the primary design, while powder blue accents emerge in key medallions and corners.
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE
Our product photography preserves absolute authenticity - studio photographs capture the rug's true colors, while our showroom lifestyle images, captured in natural sunlight, carry a warmer tone. We believe in presenting our pieces exactly as they are, without digital enhancement or retouching.
CONDITION
This vintage treasure has been professionally cleaned and prepared for its new home. As with all handcrafted vintage pieces, subtle variations in pattern and texture speak to its authentic character rather than serve as imperfections. Any delivery creases will naturally settle within days of laying flat. We recommend allowing the rug to breathe in fresh air (and gentle sunlight if possible) for a few hours after delivery, as organic wool benefits from this natural conditioning process.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Malayer region is renowned for its distinctive runner rugs that exemplify the perfect balance between tribal and urban weaving traditions. These long, narrow carpets were specifically designed for traditional Persian homes, where they graced lengthy corridors and enhanced architectural features.
Design Elements
The design features a sophisticated series of diamond medallions arranged vertically, characteristic of Malayer runner artistry. Each medallion contains intricate floral and geometric motifs, symbolizing gardens and protection in Persian weaving tradition. The border showcases a continuous vine pattern interspersed with small geometric elements, representing the eternal flow of life. Natural aging has created a refined patina that enhances the subtle interplay between the earth tones and gentle blue highlights.
Placement
The 3'2" x 16'3" dimensions make this extra-long runner perfect for extended hallways, galleries, or as an elegant accent in grand corridors. The neutral palette creates a versatile foundation that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing
Professional cleaning recommended annually
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity
Malayer runners are celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship and elegant proportions. These pieces combine artistic sophistication with practical durability, creating distinctive pathways that enhance spaces for generations.
