This Semi Antique Persian Melayer Runner is a product of the historic Persian (Iranian) art and culture. Created by skilled weavers in the Hamadan region of Iran, this runner measures 2'8" x 12'1" and has been carefully distressed and refinished in the U.S. The rich tradition of rug-weaving in Persia dates back to the Bronze Age, with the earliest surviving Persian rugs originating from the Safavid dynasty in the 16th century. 170545
