This antique Malayer rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian runner with an elegant all-over Herati-inspired design rendered in softly aged tones. Its hand-knotted field and border showcase refined geometric-floral drawing, with a pale ivory ground, warm taupe-brown outlines, and delicate blue accents that give the piece a beautifully timeworn, collector-friendly character. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, brown, sky blue, and beige, 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.
