About the Item

This rare antique Melayer carpet is a work that has survived from the end of the 19th century and reflects the unique mastery of the Melayer region in western Iran in the art of weaving. This carpet, which has both historical and aesthetic value with its elegant and complex patterns, is one of the most beautiful examples of authentic handcraft. The carpet dazzles with floral motifs and geometric patterns in red, orange and white tones embroidered on a dark blue background. The borders surrounding the central design are decorated with fine details, reinforcing the visual integrity and artistic richness of the carpet. The natural wool and plant-based dyes used add durability and color vibrancy to the carpet that defy time. Melayer carpets are known for their fine weaving techniques and aesthetic touches. This carpet is not only a piece of decoration; it is also a storyteller that brings the cultural richness and artistic heritage of the period to living spaces. It offers a valuable investment for collectors and a unique opportunity for aesthetic enthusiasts.
