Antique Malayer Area Rug (2' x 4')
Dimensions: 2'7" x 4'5" (79 cm x 135 cm).
Circa: 1930.
This antique Malayer rug, hand-knotted in Persia circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a finely drawn all-over design and a small central medallion that gives the composition both structure and movement. Its soft blue-gray field is enlivened by rust, ivory, and gold geometric-floral motifs, framed by a rich rust border that underscores the rug’s crisp drawing and collector-friendly village character. A versatile antique accent, it is especially well-suited for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Muted warm tones of rust, blue-gray, ivory, gold, brown, and camel, with a blue-gray 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.
