About the Item

60983 Distressed Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 05'06 x 09'02. A vision of earthy refinement and symbolic artistry, this antique Persian Malayer rug captures the essence of Persian garden aesthetics with its Khesti, or Garden Panel Design. Each hooked diamond lozenge compartment forms a window into nature’s sacred beauty, showcasing cypress trees, Tree of Life motifs, peacocks, and delicate floral tendrils. The symmetrical arrangement of these elements evokes a sense of order and tranquility, reflecting the Persian weavers' belief in harmony between mankind and the natural world. With an antique wash softening its palette, the distressed Persian rug exudes a gentle patina that speaks to its rich history and timeless allure. The Malayer rug's allover pattern allows the eye to wander seamlessly across the field, discovering layers of meaning in each meticulously woven motif. Cypress trees, long revered in Persian culture as symbols of resilience and eternity, stand alongside flourishing floral arrangements, which embody the fleeting beauty of nature. Peacocks, often associated with nobility and divine protection, appear gracefully within the composition, while the Tree of Life motifs reinforce themes of renewal and spiritual ascent. The repetition of these symbolic elements creates a meditative and harmonious effect, making the Persian rug a visual and cultural tableau of Persian tradition.​ Framing this enchanting garden-inspired field is a rectilinear botanical border, its geometric precision adding structure to the organic flow within the design. The inner and outer carnation meander guard bands introduce a rhythmic floral cadence, seamlessly tying the piece together. The border not only enhances the visual complexity of the rug but also serves as a protective frame, reinforcing the belief in the balance between nature and the cosmos. With its distressed character and time-softened hues, this antique Persian Malayer rug transcends mere decoration, standing as a testament to the skill and vision of its creators. Whether placed in a grand interior or a curated modern setting, its woven garden of symbolic motifs brings warmth, sophistication, and a sense of Persian heritage into nearly any space. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, coffee, brown, cerulean, charcoal, taupe, sky blue, and beige with other accent colors. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Antique wash. Hand-knotted wool.
