Have a look at this very SKINNY antique Persian Mahal runner from the 1920’s, in a size that’s surprisingly rare, just under 3 feet wide. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, its ivory ground sets the stage for rows of boteh motifs, also known as paisleys. Each paisley is outlined and filled with a delicate water motif, a nod to the essential life force that sustains everything. The design alternates between warm and cool color schemes, keeping the eye engaged as it travels down length.
The border features a “fence of security” motif, giving structure and balance to the field, while a band of butter yellow adds a fun pop of contrast. That touch of brightness against the other tones makes this beauty stand out in just the right way.
Its rare dimensions make it an ideal choice for areas where a wider rug might overwhelm, like a long hallway, a galley kitchen, or even a bathroom that could use a dose of character. A piece like this blends practical sizing with cultural artistry, making it a hardworking floor covering with that old-world spirit. This old beauty is low pile and handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
