About the Item
61030 Distressed Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 06'07 x 16'05. Woven in the storied villages of western Iran, this hand knotted wool distressed antique Persian Malayer rug invites you into a world where time, beauty, and botanical symbolism intertwine. With an all-over floral lattice pattern composed of the revered Mina Khani design, the Malayer rug celebrates one of the most enduring and poetic motifs in Persian rug artistry. Delicately arranged in rhythmic harmony, Guli Henna (Guli Hinnai) motifs—stylized blossoms flanked by star-like petals—bloom along central stems across the richly abrashed and weathered field, a visual homage to enduring life and regeneration.
The field's soft, timeworn surface creates a dreamy painterly effect, where the flowers appear to shimmer through layers of light and memory. This gentle fading, the result of a meticulous antique wash, grants the rug a romantic vintage aura, offering a story told through softened tones and poetic restraint. The subtle shifts in color across the field evoke sunlight filtering through garden trellises, and at each corner, eight-pointed star lattice spandrels add a celestial dimension—stars woven to guide and protect, echoing Persian beliefs in cosmic harmony and divine order.
Framing the elegant field is a graceful floral meander border, a continuous dance of flowering vines that mirror the central design’s message of continuity and eternal bloom. Inner and outer guard bands act as quiet sentinels, their geometric delicacy contrasting beautifully with the flowing, organic elements they enclose. Each layer of the border carries symbolic resonance—floral motifs suggesting renewal, joy, and love, passed down through generations of weavers who encoded meaning into every thread.
This distressed Malayer masterpiece, embracing laid-back luxury and rugged beauty, is a celebration of resilience and refined artistry. It channels the whisper of ancient gardens and the wisdom of age-old hands. Whether gracing the floor of a contemporary interior or adding soul to a traditional space, this woven wonder offers more than ornament—it is a keeper of stories, a tactile relic of Persian heritage designed to awaken the senses and stir the imagination.
Rendered in variegated shades of tan, red, champagne, taupe, terra cotta, sage, beige,k and charcoal with other accent colors.
