About the Item

79214 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 04'02 x 06'07. A rare jewel from the heart of western Iran, this hand knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug unfolds like a page from a tribal manuscript—rich in folklore, movement, and ancestral memory. Woven in the late 19th century by village artisans in the Malayer region, this piece captures the essence of rural life and aesthetic precision, where each knot was imbued with cultural rhythm and symbolic purpose. The Malayer rug’s sandy taupe field serves as fertile ground for a vertical axis of paired blossoms, stylized palmettes, and branching floral stems, all rendered in a palette of deep red, blue, verdigris, and beige. Its design resonates with the melodic symmetry of nature—mirrored, blooming, and eternally in balance. The allover columnar layout, anchored by a central tree-like vine, conveys more than mere decorative intent. It is a visual metaphor for continuity, lineage, and sacred growth, echoing the Tree of Life motif while diverging from its more formalized renditions. Here, the blossoms unfurl freely yet deliberately, as though guided by an unseen hand tracing the memory of past seasons. The scattered angular rosettes and serrated leaves form a lattice of energy and stillness, reflecting the dual nature of tribal weaving—both expressive and disciplined. The large-scale floral elements bloom with spirited spontaneity, while the finer details reveal the weaver’s contemplative control. Framing this composition is a fiery red border filled with symbolic talismanic motifs—possibly stylized kufic-inspired forms—set between stepped vines and geometric blossoms. This bold guard serves not only as a boundary but as a protective shell, surrounding the central field like the red earth that encircles a village oasis. Flanked by dual ivory guard stripes, their soft zigzag lines evoke the flow of water or the meandering paths of nomadic life. The border's geometry offers a striking contrast to the organic lyricism within, heightening the visual tension and making the central design pulse with greater vitality. This Malayer rug is not merely a textile; it is a woven invocation of place, season, and spirit. Its palette, softened by time yet still vibrant with purpose, tells of long winters, sun-drenched courtyards, and the quiet hum of labor passed from mother to daughter, knot by sacred knot. As both artifact and art, it embodies the poetic soul of Persian village weaving—never ostentatious, always resonant. A relic of rhythm and reverence, this rug carries the voice of its weaver still, whispering stories to those who walk across its threadbare song. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 04'02 x 06'07. Pile Height: 0.18 of an inch. Date: 1890's. Late 19th Century.
