Antique Persian Malayer Rug
About the Item
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Malayer rugs, where Turkish tribal weavers intricately wove tales of artistry. Employing the symmetrical Gourde knot, a hallmark of their craft, these weavers created a distinctive contrast to the asymmetrical knots seen in many Persian pieces. The artistic finesse of Malayer rugs lies not only in their design but also in their technique. Antique Malayer rugs often feature a low-cut pile, meticulously trimmed to accentuate the design's aesthetic.
These tribal weavers were artisans of both form and function, producing a diverse spectrum of designs and colors. Their masterpieces showcased technical prowess and artistry in equal measure. From dense all-over motifs to lozenge-shaped medallions resting on chic monochromatic grounds, their designs varied with angular and curvilinear elements, often drawing inspiration from the city of Herat in Northwestern Afghanistan.
Exquisite borders, a constant in antique Malayer rugs, rivaled the field patterns in detail and beauty. The Herati pattern, named after its birthplace, showcased a flower within a rhomb, encircled by four acanthus leaves resembling fishes. It adorned the rugs, enhancing the allure of all-over motifs.
In the realm of Malayer rugs, we present an enchanting 3'7" x 5'7" gem. Against a navy blue backdrop, a red rust wide border frames the Herati design. While it bears the marks of time with missing ends and artificial fringes, its charm endures. Professionally cleaned, it stands ready to grace your foyer or any area of your home, bringing with it a history of craftsmanship and artistic brilliance. A tribute to tradition and creativity, this Malayer rug beckons you to experience the harmony of form and function, adding an element of elegance to your living space.
