About the Item

61063 Vintage Persian Malayer Rug, 03'08 x 09'08. In the evocative world of antique Persian textiles, few pieces embody charm and heritage as profoundly as this exquisite vintage Malayer rug—a rare hallway runner whose beauty is rooted in both art and ancestry. Hand-knotted in the storied village of Malayer, nestled between the weaving strongholds of Hamadan and Sarouk, this precious piece draws upon centuries of artisan tradition while presenting a distinctly expressive visual language. Its deep midnight navy ground becomes a stage for a vibrant floral ballet: stylized palmettes, fiery blossoms, curling fronds, and leafy tendrils unfold in symmetrical procession, crowned by the central Sarouk-inspired floral medallions that pulse with dynamic energy. Each floral element blooms with intention, rich in symbolism—emblems of renewal, joy, and the eternal cycles of nature. The sumptuous palette—dramatic yet harmonious—is a study in controlled exuberance. Shades of magenta, carnelian red, saffron orange, mossy green, and coral pink bloom like a garden at twilight, each hue saturated with the soul of natural dyes aged into perfect maturity. The visual rhythm of repeating medallions and mirrored florals creates a flowing, almost musical cadence across the rug’s elongated format, evoking the passage of time and tradition through a single corridor of art. It is this tension between bold pattern and sophisticated structure that elevates Malayer rugs to a realm of understated grandeur—luxurious without ostentation, refined without rigidity. Framing the opulent field is a graceful floral meander border—a rhythmic garland of blossoms rendered in a tightly woven chain of color and form. This is enclosed by a sawtooth guard band, lending both contrast and containment, a structural embrace to the composition’s lyrical excess. This meticulous border work not only heightens the visual impact but also speaks to the weaver’s technical prowess, each element woven with care and symbolic resonance. In its balance of precision and poetry, the rug becomes more than décor—it is an heirloom of memory and movement, a sacred dance in wool. To acquire this exquisite work of art is to own a piece of cultural continuity and soul-infused artistry. Its scale and rarity position it as a collector’s jewel—perfectly suited to grace a curated corridor, vestibule, or gallery-like interior. More than just a rug, it is a celebration of the human hand, of slow craft in a fast world. It is for those who believe that luxury lies not only in exclusivity, but in story, soul, and the subtle interplay of light, history, and material. With every step across its surface, one walks through time itself—a living narrative of elegance, endurance, and eternal bloom. Rendered in variegated shades of ink blue, navy blue, hot red, pink, verdigris, cerulean, brown, orange, rose, maroon, cerise and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'08 x 09'08. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century.
