This antique Persian Malayer rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind village weaving distinguished by its dramatic elongated medallion-and-pole composition and richly detailed border work. The abrashed rose field is framed by sky blue spandrels and a deep indigo border, showcasing intricate geometric floral motifs and the nuanced character collectors prize in hand-knotted wool pile rugs. Its refined scale and striking palette make it an ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or hallway.
Faded warm tones of rose, sky blue, indigo, ivory, rust, camel, and burgundy, with a rose field.
Malayer rugs are woven in and around the town of Malayer in western Iran, within the greater Hamadan district. Comprising over a hundred villages each with its own subtle design traditions, the Malayer region produces hand-knotted rugs on a cotton foundation using the symmetrical Turkish knot — finer and more tightly woven than most Hamadan work.
Malayer designs tend toward the geometric, with herati, mahi (fish), and stylized floral patterns rendered in a traditional palette of deep indigo, madder red, and ivory. Their precise drawing, durable construction, and handsome proportions make antique Malayer rugs a consistently sought-after choice for collectors and decorators alike.
