3367 · 3'11" x 16'8" Persian Malayer Runner Rug

Across the dark blue field, small rosettes and angular leaves form a lovely dense repeating lattice. Small rosettes and angular leaves in cream, tan and pale blue cover the dark blue field in a dense repeating lattice. No single shape anchors the center, and the field shifts from slate blue to near-black along its length, with a rose-brown patch at one end. The main border is tan, carrying charming brown and cream leaves with small flowers in brown and pale blue. A brown guard stripe with small cream motifs runs inside it, and a gray-blue stripe edges the outside. Scattered pale specks across the face mark places where the pile is thin. A light antique wash has softened the colors without reaching the drawing. The blue ground cools the warm tan frame, stretching in a long line down a hall. At 3'11" by 16'8", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
