Circa: 30.
Handmade and one-of-a-kind, this antique Malayer rug, circa 1930, showcases a striking Persian prayer design softened by age into an airy palette of ivory, taupe, blush, and pale blue. Its geometric tribal drawing, stepped niche, and layered border work give the hand-knotted composition remarkable character and decorative depth while the beautifully faded surface lends an elegant collected look. An ideal accent for a bedroom, office, or hallway.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, blush, pale blue, brown, sand, and camel, 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.
