Antique Oversize Subdued Persian Malayer Runner 3'4 x 27'7. A lovely oversize hand-knotted antique Malayer runner, dating to circa 1900. This striking piece features the unmistakable charm of abrash—a natural variation in color resulting from the use of different dye lots. Far from a flaw, this beautiful tonal shift adds depth, movement, and a unique character to the rug. Woven by skilled artisans more than a century ago, its craftsmanship and quiet elegance speak to a bygone era where every thread told a story.
.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
