This antique Malayer rug, handmade in Persia circa 1920, is a one-of-a-kind village weaving distinguished by its elegant all-over floral lattice set against an ivory field. Rich rust, indigo, and soft rose accents animate the drawing, while the layered border system and finely articulated motifs showcase the character collectors prize in early hand-knotted Persian rugs. Its balanced scale and luminous palette make it an ideal choice for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Muted warm tones of ivory, rust, indigo, rose, taupe, charcoal, and coral, 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.
