This classical antique Persian Malayer rug exemplifies the elegance and restraint of traditional village weaving. Its striking open-field design features a vivid madder-red ground, drawing the eye toward the central diamond medallion, richly detailed with delicate floral motifs in shades of ivory, navy, and green. The medallion’s arrowhead extensions echo the corners of the rug, adding symmetry and depth to the composition.
The minimalist field is balanced by finely rendered corner spandrels and a multi-band floral border, typical of Malayer craftsmanship. Woven in northwest Persia in the early 20th century, this rug is renowned for its finely spun wool, subtle colour gradation, and balanced composition.
A rare example of understated refinement, this Malayer rug seamlessly blends decorative simplicity with masterful detail, making it perfect for both traditional and transitional interiors that seek timeless character and sophistication.
