This antique Malayer rug, hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, is a handmade one-of-a-kind runner distinguished by its richly geometric lattice of compartmentalized floral motifs and finely drawn border work. Its dark brown field, softened by age, is enlivened with ivory, taupe, and rust accents that showcase the nuanced character and decorative depth collectors prize in early village weaving. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Faded warm tones of brown, ivory, taupe, rust, charcoal, camel, and burgundy, 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.
