This antique Persian Malayer rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind runner distinguished by its finely drawn all-over Herati-inspired lattice and elongated village proportions. The warm brown field is enlivened with soft ivory, sky blue, olive, and charcoal accents, framed by multiple geometric borders that showcase the nuanced character and age-softened beauty collectors prize in early 20th-century hand-knotted rugs. An ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Faded warm tones of brown, taupe, olive, ivory, sky blue, charcoal, slate, and camel, with a brown 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.
