About the Item

61265 Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 03'11 x 07'10. Antique-washed Persian Malayer rugs are from the Malayer region in western Iran that have undergone a special washing process to soften the colors and blur the design elements slightly, mimicking the natural aging process that occurs over time. The result is a rug that exudes an antique charm and character, reminiscent of antique carpet that shave been passed down through generations. Despite their faded appearance, antique-washed Persian Malayer rugs often retain their durability and quality craftsmanship, making them prized pieces for collectors and interior decorators seeking to add a touch of nostalgic elegance to their spaces. In this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug, a fusion of relaxed refinement and tribal allure unfolds. Its antique-washed composition sets the stage for a captivating display, with a column of stepped medallions adorning an abrashed pinkish-ecru backdrop. Each medallion boasts intricate designs of ambiguous organic shapes and tribal motifs, evoking a sense of enchantment and visual intrigue. The rug's richly striated canvas, featuring hues of dark brown and blue, echoes the organic formations found within the medallions, adding depth and complexity to the overall design. Surrounding the central motif is an ethereal border that delicately frames the composition, its subtle tribal motifs barely visible amidst the rich waves of abrash. This border serves as a harmonious complement to the main design, enhancing the rug's overall aesthetic appeal. Adding a final flourish to the piece is a meandering guard border, further accentuating the rug's intricate detailing and contributing to its tribal charm. Together, these elements create a rug that exudes a sense of refined elegance while paying homage to its tribal roots. With its blend of relaxed refinement and tribal enchantment, this antique Persian Malayer rug offers a captivating focal point for any space. Whether adorning a traditional interior or adding character to a contemporary setting, its antique-washed composition and intricate design make it a versatile and timeless piece that transcends stylistic boundaries.
