This beautiful, petite antique Persian Malayer rug is a fine example of village weaving from northwestern Iran, admired for its artistry and charm in compact form. Hand-knotted in soft wool, it features a striking brick-red field richly adorned with stylised floral and vine motifs that flow in a rhythmic, almost tapestry-like layout. The balanced arrangement of blossoms and leafy sprays, rendered in tones of deep indigo, golden ochre, soft ivory, and muted teal, creates both elegance and warmth.
Framed by a narrow, dark-toned border that enhances its vibrancy, the rug embodies the Malayer tradition of blending geometric discipline with botanical grace. Its small size makes it versatile, perfect as an accent piece in entryways, beside furniture, or as a collector's decorative textile. With its fine detail, earthy palette, and timeless appeal, this antique Malayer rug is not only a functional floor covering but also a piece of Persian village heritage that brings beauty and authenticity to any space.
