About the Item

Early 20th Century Vintage Persian Malayer Area Rug, meticulously hand-knotted. From the renowned weaving region of Malayer, this piece embodies the robust construction and distinctive geometric designs for which these Persian rugs are celebrated. The rug features a captivating red background color, providing a warm and inviting foundation for its striking design. At its heart lies a prominent central medallion, beautifully rendered in luminous ivory and serene French blue, serving as a focal point that draws the eye. Adding to its unique character, the rug boasts distinctive corner spandrels in a mesmerizing abrash French blue color. The subtle, natural variations in hue within this abrash (a testament to the organic dyes and their graceful aging) add immense depth and character, and these spandrels are further adorned with a delicate small geometric pattern. The entire composition is expertly framed by a complementary red color border, which features its own intricate geometric pattern throughout, elegantly tying the design together.
