This antique Malayer rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian piece distinguished by its elegant central medallion and finely drawn floral vinery. Its softly faded ivory field, layered blue accents, and detailed border create a refined traditional composition with the nuanced character collectors prize in hand-knotted wool rugs. An ideal choice for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, sky blue, slate, charcoal, taupe, and cream, with a ivory 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.
