Dimensions: 4'10" x 8'8" (147 cm x 264 cm).
Circa: 20.
Antique Persian Malayer rug, circa 1920, hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind, with a finely drawn all-over Herati-inspired field rendered in a soft ivory ground with sky blue and warm brown accents. The elongated runner format and crisp geometric border give this village weaving a refined, airy presence, while the aged palette and intricate small-scale patterning showcase the character collectors seek in early Malayer rugs. An ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, brown, sky blue, camel, and rust, 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.
