Woven in the historic northwestern Iranian village of Malayer, this vintage runner beautifully bridges the gap between the refined, highly regimented patterns of formal city carpets and the soulful, spirited execution of regional tribal weaving. Measuring an impressive 3’6″ x 16’4″ ft., this piece provides a masterclass in classical textile design, heavily featuring one of the most recognizable and enduring symbols in weaving history: the boteh. Originating as an ancient Zoroastrian abstraction of the resilient cypress tree, the boteh—which eventually evolved into the modern paisley pattern—was historically utilized to represent eternity, vibrant life, and continuous growth. The expansive canvas is anchored by a deep, midnight-navy field that provides a dramatic, moody backdrop. This dark interior is meticulously enveloped in a dense, all-over repeating array of the iconic boteh figures, rendered in glowing shades of rust-red and soft rose. The precise, rhythmic geometry of this central field is elegantly framed by a vibrant, saturated crimson border system, intricately woven with stylized meandering vines and traditional geometric rosettes that beautifully contain the endless pattern within. Crafted with high-quality, durable Persian wool, this remarkably long vintage piece retains a resilient pile that is perfectly engineered to endure heavy daily foot traffic. Its monumental 16-foot length makes it an extraordinary architectural asset for high-end interior design projects. It is perfectly suited for running the full length of a grand traditional staircase, grounding an expansive residential corridor, or adding profound historical depth to a luxury gallery space.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-knotted rug, regular maintenance is essential. We recommend vacuuming your rug frequently, being careful to turn off the beater bar to prevent damaging the natural fibers and delicate fringe. If spills occur, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, which can push the stain deeper. Rotating your piece every few months will help it wear evenly and minimize color fading from direct sunlight. Finally, to truly protect your investment, we advise having your rug professionally washed at our Evanston cleaning facility every few years to gently remove deeply embedded dirt and restore its original luster.
