Antique Persian Malayer Rug with Large Gray and Ivory Central Medallions

About the Item

Antique Persian rug handwoven from the finest sheep’s wool and colored with all-natural vegetable dyes that are safe for humans and pets. It’s a traditional Malayer design featuring large gray and ivory central medallions over a deep red field. It’s a lovely piece to showcase in contemporary and rustic spaces. It has a dimension of 4’1”x 6’6” which is ideal for living areas and bedrooms. Malayer is a village that can be found close to Hamadan and Sarouk, both well-known rug making centers in ancient Persia. Unlike other rug producing areas that made large-sized carpets, Malayer weavers focused more on making smaller area and runner rugs. These rugs are identifiable by the ‘Boteh’ or sprouting seed patterns and use of navy blue as background. Common colors used in Malayer rugs are tan/pink, gold, sky blue, and red. IMPORTANT: ACTUAL RUG COLORS MAY VARY FROM PICTURES & DESCRIPTION. YOU MAY REQUEST ADDITIONAL PHOTOS/VIDEOS OR CONTACT US FOR CONFIRMATION BEFORE PURCHASE.
