This antique 1920s Persian Malayer runner is a cherished find, featuring a deep midnight navy ground that’s almost as dark as a moonless night sky. The "Mahi" design, which means "fish" in Farsi, is also known as the Herati pattern, showcasing two fish swimming around a flower, a beautiful symbol in Persian art. The allover small-scale design, which is particularly loved for its charm and elegance, is complemented by a dainty floral border that lets the main field shine.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, this beautiful runner has a warm, earthy color palette that feels rich and inviting. With a low pile and a touch of scattered wear, this piece is sturdy and ready for the hustle and bustle of any high-traffic areas it is placed in. Perfect for narrow hallways, a kitchen, or even as a staircase runner, this beauty adds heritage, character, and style to any space it calls home.
