This exquisite antique Persian Malayer rug showcases the refined artistry and nuanced colour palettes that define village weaving traditions of western Iran. The field features a beautifully stylised boteh (paisley) motif, arranged in a diagonal lattice pattern, symbolising growth and fertility. The soft rose-pink ground offers an elegant backdrop for the earthy tones of rust, navy, forest green, and ivory that infuse the pattern with subtle contrast and rhythm.
Framing the composition is a richly detailed main border adorned with bold rosettes and angular floral elements, set against a rust-red background. Flanked by guard borders with zigzag vines, the framing adds depth and structure, balancing the intricate inner field.
Hand-knotted in fine wool, this Malayer rug is prized for its durability, detailed craftsmanship, and harmonious aesthetic. Its time-softened palette and balanced geometric composition make it a captivating choice for collectors and connoisseurs of antique Persian textiles.
