Circa: 1920.
This antique Persian Malayer rug, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind weaving with a striking elongated medallion rendered in softly faded blue gray and ivory. Its finely drawn floral and geometric detailing, layered guard borders, and beautifully time-softened palette give the piece the refined character collectors seek in early village rugs. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded neutral tones of blue gray, ivory, taupe, rust, sage, charcoal, 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.
