Hand-knotted Antique Wool Malayer Rug

About the Item

This antique Malayar rug has a shaded mole-grey and light blue field with an overall pistachio-yellow and brick-red herati-pattern, the part lozenge spandrels similar, in a pistachio-yellow border of ivory and brick-red turtle-palmettes linked by an angular dense flowerhead and floral vine between narrow hooked motif stripes. About Malayer Rugs: Malayer rugs, originating from the town of Malayer in northwest Iran, are prized for their intricate designs, high quality, and unique character. Known for their fine craftsmanship, these rugs typically feature floral or geometric patterns that are both elaborate and balanced, often in earthy, rich tones of red, blue, ivory, and brown. Malayer weavers frequently use the "Herati" motif—a diamond-centered pattern with curling leaves and fish-like forms—as well as boteh (paisley) and garden motifs. Unlike mass-produced rugs, Malayer pieces are usually handcrafted by skilled artisans, resulting in slight variations that add to their individuality and charm. Their dense weaving and use of high-quality wool ensure durability, making them highly sought after by collectors and interior designers. Malayer rugs beautifully combine aesthetic appeal with functional resilience, embodying Persian heritage and artistry.
