Hallway Runner Rugs (3ft x 16ft), Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a classic example of a finely woven malayer textile, originating from the Hamadan region of Persia. Known for their durable construction and rich, saturated dyes, rugs from this area are highly prized among collectors of antique rugs.
The field is dominated by a deep indigo ground, providing a striking contrast for the complex floral arrangement. This masterful use of a saturated, primary hue places it perfectly within our curated selection of blue color rugs. The design utilizes an intricate allover pattern of repeating palmettes and stylized blossoms, creating a sense of continuous movement and depth across the entire surface.
Hand-knotted in durable wool pile, the craftsmanship reflects the high standards of early 20th-century Persian village weaving. The repeating geometric border frames the central design elegantly, utilizing subtle tones of terracotta, ivory, and sage green to balance the intensity of the main field.
Its elongated, narrow format makes this textile an ideal selection among hallway runner rugs, perfectly suited to define a long corridor or gallery space. This piece offers both historical integrity and robust functionality, ensuring it remains a sophisticated focal point for decades to come.
