Antique Persian Malayer Long Runner

Persia, Early 20th Century
2 ft. 9 in. x 17 ft. 1 in.
(0.83 x 5.17 m)
A Wool pile with symmetric knots on an all-cotton foundation. Desirably under three feet wide, this village kenare (runner) features a mosaic tile pattern with floriated, reversing botehs in eye-catching color rows, including cream, burnt salmon, and dark blue, on a rich rust ground. The botehs are closely set across, creating an eccentric striped effect. The main ecru border displays slim pendant botehs and thin, wiry vinery entrapping rectangular palmettes. An unusual, well-wearing village runner from an active weaving sub-district.
