Handknotted with generations of expertise, the Antique Sierra Malayer Runner showcases a symphony of lively, vegetable-dyed colors woven into intricate floral and geometric motifs. The wool's luminous texture and rustic charm reflect the authentic craftsmanship of Persian nomadic tribes, with each knot telling a story of tradition passed down through centuries.
Originating from western Persia's rugged landscapes, Malayer rugs are prized for their exceptional durability and distinctive designs that balance tribal spontaneity with harmonious patterns. Woven on simple horizontal looms using techniques unchanged for generations, these heirloom-quality pieces develop a richer patina over time, their colors softening into a warm glow that only true vegetable dyes can achieve.
