Antique Persian Malayer Rug Size: 3'9" x 6'8" Date: 1900s Material: Wool on cotton A distinctive early 20th-century Persian Malayer rug featuring a dramatic midnight-blue elongated medallion filled with an intricate Herati-inspired pattern of stylized leaves, rosettes, and angular vine work. The ivory spandrels and boldly drawn geometric border create a striking contrast, highlighting the rug's strong architectural composition. Woven in the renowned weaving region of western Persia, this rug displays the artistic blend of geometric precision and floral elegance that characterizes the finest Malayer carpets. The restrained palette of deep indigo, ivory, soft camel, and muted terracotta lends the piece a refined and sophisticated appearance. Its elongated proportions, detailed drawing, and beautifully aged colors make this antique Malayer both an appealing decorative accent and an excellent example of traditional Persian village weaving.
