About the Item

​61231 Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 03'06 x 05'06. Step into a world of mystical beauty with this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug, where tradition meets symbolism in a captivating display of artistry. The composition features a striking spiked hexagonal center medallion, adorned with the protective Goz eye motif, a symbol believed to ward off the evil eye and malevolent spirits. This central motif floats gracefully on an abrashed blue field, its vibrant color variations reminiscent of a tranquil sky at dusk. The field is richly adorned with various protection motifs and ambiguous tribal symbols, each woven with intent and meaning, creating a tableau that is as protective as it is beautiful. The deep brown corner spandrels echo the designs found within the field, providing a harmonious balance to the overall composition. These corner spandrels, with their intricate patterns and subtle contrasts, anchor the design, drawing the eye inward toward the central medallion. The combination of the bold center and the delicate, yet powerful, motifs throughout the field creates a sense of depth and dimension, making this antique Persian rug a focal point in nearly any room it graces. Framing the enchanting field is a meandering star border, a design that symbolizes happiness. This primary border, with its rhythmic flow of stars, serves as a protective embrace around the central design, adding to the rug's aura of mysticism and charm. Flanked by an inner and outer boteh guard border, each boteh motif represents life, growth, and renewal, further enhancing the rug's symbolic richness. The boteh motifs are meticulously woven, their teardrop shapes adding a touch of elegance and continuity to the overall design. The earthy tones of this rug, featuring deep browns, soft beiges, and varying shades of blue, create a warm and inviting palette that complements a wide range of interior styles. Whether placed in a traditional setting or a modern space, this antique Persian Malayer rug adds an element of history, protection, and timeless beauty. Its intricate design and symbolic motifs invite you to explore its depths, making it not just a rug, but a conversation piece and a cherished heirloom. Rendered in variegated shades of brown, blue, beige, cerulean, taupe, and coffee with other accent colors. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'06 x 05'06.
