About the Item

This Mid-20th century Persian Malayer pictorial rug, measuring 2' 2" x 3' 5", presents a unique and finely articulated design centered around a detailed scene. The composition features a central niche-like panel, within which a bearded male figure, possibly a religious or cultural elder, is depicted seated in a dignified pose. This image is framed by a softly stepped arch outlined in muted earth tones, giving the impression of a sanctuary or architectural setting. Above and below the figure, stylized floral and symbolic motifs rendered in shades of ivory, taupe, and soft lavender add layers of visual interest and cultural significance. The main border is adorned with a scrolling vine of palmettes and floral rosettes in warm neutrals, enclosing the pictorial scene in an elegant frame. The interplay of figural artistry with traditional Persian border work exemplifies the Malayer weaving tradition’s ability to blend narrative imagery with decorative refinement.
