About the Item
A finely woven Persian Malayer rug from the early 20th century, featuring a rich navy field filled with floral sprays and stylized urns in soft shades of rose, salmon, and pale blue. The central pattern is framed by an unusual corner treatment in cerulean blue, echoing tones found throughout the field and creating a quiet sense of movement. The narrow inner and wider outer borders repeat a rhythmic vine motif, reinforcing the hand-drawn charm and precision of the field’s design.
Malayer rugs are woven in and around the town of Malayer, located between Hamadan and Sarouk in western Iran. Known for their variety, finesse, and artistry, Malayer rugs are typically the work of individual weavers—often women—who brought their own interpretations and regional traditions into each piece. No two are alike, and the best examples, like this one, are notable for their saturated color, balanced compositions, and slightly eccentric flourishes that reflect the personal hand of the maker.
