This antique Malayer rug, hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, is a one-of-a-kind village weaving with a striking elongated medallion composition set against a deep brown field. Its ivory border, geometric floral motifs, and nuanced palette of rust, camel, sage, and soft blue showcase the crisp drawing and decorative character collectors prize in early Malayer rugs. An ideal centerpiece for a hallway, living room, or office.
Muted warm tones of brown, ivory, rust, camel, sage, soft blue, and terracotta, 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.
