This rare red Persian rug, woven in the Malayer region of northwest Iran, is a stunning example of village artistry at its finest. Spanning nearly 17 feet in length, the runner features a deep crimson field enriched with repeating boteh (paisley) motifs and Herati medallions—stylized fish and leaf forms—embedded in a harmonious linear arrangement.

Crafted by skilled rural weavers using symmetrical knots on a cotton foundation, the rug showcases exceptional knot density and clarity—an uncommon trait among village-scale runners. The low-cut wool pile enhances both detail and durability, while subtle abrash within the red and earth-toned palette underscores its authenticity and adds gentle visual depth.

Perfectly proportioned for long corridors, gallery spaces, or layered styling, this vintage Persian runner brings warmth, pattern, and cultural nuance to its surroundings. Whether placed in a modern foyer or traditional interior, the rug’s juxtaposition of geometric precision and organic motifs harmonizes effortlessly.

A collector’s dream and a designer’s statement piece, this red Persian rug embodies both the rustic heritage of rural weaving and refined aesthetic elegance.
