About the Item

61263 Distressed Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 03'11 x 07'03. Antique-washed Persian Malayer rugs are vintage rugs from the Malayer region in western Iran that have undergone a washing process to achieve a distressed or faded appearance, giving them a weathered and aged look. This washing process involves treating the rug with special techniques 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 rugs that have been passed down through generations. Despite their distressed 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 vintage elegance to their spaces. In this hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Malayer rug, modern masculinity meets understated elegance. At its core lies a striking serrated medallion adorned with Herati motifs, meticulously woven onto a neutral beige backdrop. Surrounding this focal point is an antique-washed blue field, serving as the canvas for an intricate allover pattern of Herati motifs, echoing the design language of the central medallion. Completing the composition are serrated corner spandrels that mirror the motifs found within the medallion, adding depth and cohesion to the rug's design. The Classic Herati design, renowned for its widespread popularity in Persian rugs, features a delicate balance of floral elements and curving lanceolate leaves that evoke the graceful movement of fish beneath moonlit waters. Encircling the field is an Elibelinde motif border, flanked by inner and outer carnation meander guard borders, adding a touch of sophistication to the rug's overall aesthetic. Despite its seemingly simplistic appearance, this antique Malayer rug is steeped in Persian history and symbolism, with motifs like the Ram's Horn and Elibelinde representing themes of virility, motherhood, fertility, masculinity, and power. Derived from ancient traditions and cultural symbolism, this antique Persian Malayer rug not only serves as a functional floor covering but also as a piece of art that tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship. Its blend of modern design elements with timeless motifs and colors makes it a versatile addition to any interior space, whether contemporary or traditional. With its subtle sophistication and rich symbolism, this rug adds depth, character, and a sense of history to any room it graces. Rendered in variegated shades of Aegean blue, beige, cerulean, tan, Prussian blue, latte, baby blue and cappuccino with other neutral colors. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Antique Wash.
