About the Item

61036 Vintage Persian Malayer Rug, 03'05 x 09'08. In the shadows of design, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Malayer rug emerges, a brooding composition of mystery and allure. The all-over pattern, a dance of Herati motifs, unfolds on a midnight navy blue field, like secrets whispered in the depths of the night. In the corners, red star flowers bloom, a stark contrast against the inky backdrop, their dark pink hue reminiscent of secrets veiled in shadows. Framed by a stylized floral border, enclosed with an inner and outer cengal hook guard border, it's as if the rug is daring you to delve deeper into its clandestine narrative. Dark and exotic, this Persian Herati design, coupled with its saturated color palette, conjures visions of a night sky draped over a moonlit garden, a canvas painted in the hues of enigma. Celebrated as the epitome of elegance, the Classic Herati design, alternatively known as the Mahi or Fish pattern, stands as a paragon among the illustrious Persian motifs. At its core, this pattern unveils a mesmerizing floral centerpiece, ensconced within a diamond-shaped embrace. Gracefully adorning this composition are lanceolate leaves, their delicate curves reminiscent of the fluid grace of fish. The Herati motif bears profound significance in the tapestry of Iranian culture, embodying the emergence of small fish just beneath the water's surface. These aquatic beings navigate the depths with a balletic finesse, their movements harmonizing with the ethereal glow of the full moon's reflection. Within the Herati design, a poetic narrative unfolds, encapsulating the beauty of nature and the timeless dance of life beneath the moonlit heavens. Dark and moody, with a beguiling charm that lingers in the air, this vintage Persian runner is an irresistible force, a testament to its nomadic roots and dynamic personality. It's not just a rug; it's a silent storyteller, weaving tales of ancient nights and untold journeys. A magic carpet, in a sense, but one that keeps its flights confined to the realm of imagination. So, whether you're aiming to cast a spell on your guests or simply seeking a touch of refinement in the shadows, this Persian hallway rug unfurls its enigmatic embrace. Step into the allure of enchantment, where every thread whispers tales of a captivating past and an undiscovered mystique. Rendered in variegated shades of black midnight, ink blue, red, dark pink, coffee, brown, aubergine, taupe and navy blue with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'05 x 09'08. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century. This has a matching piece: 3 x 10 Vintage Persian Malayer Rug 61053.
