Antique Persian Malayer Wool Hallway Runner Rug

Antique Malayer Hallway Runner Wool Black Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the fine weaving traditions of malayer rugs, a sub-region known for its durable wool and intricate, often highly stylized, designs. Woven in the 1930s, this rug represents the later classical period of Iranian / Persian rugs production, maintaining high standards of craftsmanship despite the era. The dramatic field of this runner is dominated by a deep, saturated black, providing a striking contrast to the detailed, repeating boteh and stylized floral elements rendered in ivory, red, and subtle blues. This sophisticated use of a dark ground color makes it a highly desirable example among black color rugs, offering depth and formality to any space.
