This antique circa 1940 Malayer rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian village weaving with a finely drawn all-over lattice design and a beautifully time-softened palette. Hand-knotted with a wool pile, it features pale ivory and soft blue patterning framed by a bold floral border, giving the piece an elegant balance of delicacy and structure. Its refined antique character and airy coloration make it an ideal choice for a bedroom, living room, or office.
Faded cool tones of ivory, powder blue, slate blue, beige, and taupe, 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.
