This handwoven runner carpet is a rare and historical example of early Malayer weaving, dating back approximately 130 years and clearly reflecting the rural identity and authenticity of the region. The all-over floral pattern creates a calm and regular rhythm along the length of the carpet, making it especially suitable for corridors and elongated spaces. With dimensions of 580 × 74 cm and a total area of 4.3 square meters, it offers a precise and functional use, while its relatively light weight compared to its size allows for easier handling and placement. The red field combined with a blue border forms a classic and enduring contrast that has retained its visual appeal over time. The use of vegetable dyes adds depth of color and natural harmony to the palette, and the 30-raj structure provides reliable durability. The presence of restoration, as part of the carpet’s history, does not diminish its value, but rather reflects generations of care and preservation.
