About the Item
An early 20th-century Persian Malayer rug with an allover trellis pattern, handwoven in a lyrical mix of crimson, rose, cream, soft brown, and a full spectrum of indigos. The design features a rhythmic lattice of large-scale blossoms and curling leaves, each subtly varied in shape and tone—clearly the work of an individual weaver rather than a rigid template. The composition is framed by a richly layered border: a wide central stripe with scrolling vines and stylized floral forms, flanked by multiple narrower bands, each with its own unique repeat.
Woven in and around the town of Malayer, in western Iran between Hamadan and Sarouk, Malayer rugs are celebrated for their inventiveness and individuality. Most were woven by women working at home on small looms, drawing from memory and imagination. The result is a body of work that’s remarkably diverse, deeply personal, and full of subtle quirks that make each piece unlike any other.
