About the Item

76510 Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 06'10 x 13'00. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug is a mesmerizing testament to the artistry of time-honored weaving traditions. Its richly abrashed field is adorned with an all-over Herati design, a motif that has captivated Persian weavers for centuries. The intricate interplay of a flower enclosed within a diamond, flanked by curving lanceolate leaves, evokes a poetic imagery of fish swimming beneath the surface of a moonlit pond. This enduring pattern carries deep symbolic meaning, representing harmony, fluidity, and the eternal dance of nature. Each delicate curve and meticulous detail is a tribute to the skilled hands that crafted this masterpiece, ensuring its legacy endures. The enchanting depth of the field is heightened by natural abrash, a hallmark of authentic antique Persian rugs, where the gentle gradation of tones breathes life into the composition. This nuanced blending of color imbues the Malayer rug with warmth and a sense of history, as if each shift in shade whispers stories of the past. The Herati motif, repeated in rhythmic succession, creates an alluring visual movement, a tapestry of motion that invites the eye to wander across its expanse. The balance of intricate geometry and organic flow makes this piece a true work of art, capable of elevating any interior with its timeless elegance. Framing this exquisite field is a distinctive border featuring a variation of the bird-on-a-pole motif. This ancient Persian symbol, revered for its representation of protection and divine connection, adds an element of storytelling to the rug’s already captivating presence. Complemented by an inner and outer rectilinear meander guard border, this framing device enhances the Malayer rug’s structured beauty, providing a sense of order that contrasts gracefully with the fluidity of the Herati pattern. These design elements work together in perfect harmony, encapsulating the depth of Persian textile heritage. Whether gracing the floors of a stately home or lending an air of refinement to a contemporary space, this antique Persian Malayer rug is more than a mere furnishing—it is a passage through time. Its inimitable charm, nostalgic warmth, and masterful craftsmanship make it a treasured heirloom, one that carries with it the whispers of Persian weavers and the poetic elegance of an enduring artistic tradition. Rendered in variegated shades of brown, rust, taupe, coffee, rose, purple, brick red, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Antique Wash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran.
