Hand-knotted antique Malayer rug from Persia, circa 1920, with a one-of-a-kind ivory field framing a striking sky blue lozenge medallion filled with finely drawn floral and geometric motifs. The crisp border system, nuanced abrashed palette, and intricate village craftsmanship give this wool pile carpet a refined yet lively presence that collectors and decorators value. An ideal accent for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Muted warm tones of ivory, sky blue, rust, camel, taupe, brown, and sage, 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.
