78521 Antique Persian Malayer Rug Runner, 03'04 x 14'08.

This magnificent hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer runner showcases an allover geometric design composed of boteh motifs elegantly arranged on a rich navy-blue background. The boteh, a timeless and iconic motif in Persian artistry, symbolizes life, growth, and regeneration, resembling the shape of a cypress tree or a teardrop. In this Malayer piece, the boteh motifs are masterfully interwoven with smaller floral and geometric accents, creating a tapestry of cultural and symbolic richness.

The navy-blue field provides a dramatic and elegant canvas for the warm red, gold, and beige hues of the boteh and surrounding elements. These vivid colors evoke a sense of harmony and balance, paying homage to the natural world. The intricate interplay of patterns and hues lends a lively rhythm to the composition, making it a captivating centerpiece for almost any space. The design captures the essence of Persian rug-making traditions, where every element is imbued with meaning and purpose.

Framing the central field is a series of thin floral meander borders that echo the grace of the boteh motifs while adding an extra layer of refinement. The floral meanders elegantly soften the geometric energy of the boteh design, creating a sense of movement and flow that frames the field beautifully. These borders act as a gentle transition from the bold central motifs to the surrounding space, emphasizing the runner’s delicate artistry.

This antique Persian Malayer carpet runner is a testament to the enduring appeal of fine Persian craftsmanship. Its symbolic motifs, timeless design, and harmonious color palette make it an exceptional piece for collectors and interior designers alike. Whether placed in a hallway, gallery, or living space, this woven wonder infuses its surroundings with elegance, history, and the enchanting beauty of Persian artistry.
