Circa: 30.
Antique Malayer rug, circa 1930, hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind, with a striking geometric medallion composition framed by bold stepped motifs and angular border elements. Its faded blue field and ivory accents create a softly timeworn palette that highlights the rug's graphic village drawing and collectible Persian character. A versatile statement piece for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded cool tones of blue, ivory, beige, taupe, camel, and slate, with a blue 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.
