Antique Country House Malayer District Long Rug Runner - Late 19th Century

North West Persia, Malayer District. Note the pair of tribal figures, animals and birds to the central dark brown/black lozenge with elongated hooked medallion to the very centre. Zig-zag leaf and carnation floral main border. Hand washed, last images. All over low pile and has undergone sympathetic restoration with rebound dark brown side cords, even fringes and some tinting in places to give it a new lease of life and tidy its overall country house/shabby chic appearance,surely fit for another 100+ years! Wool pile hand knotted onto cotton warp and some wool weft threads.
