Vintage Persian Malayer gallery rug. Hand-knotted in the early to mid-20th century, this room size or gallery rug hails from the villages of Western Persia, where Malayer weavers are celebrated for their durable construction and distinct geometric patterns.
This beautiful rug features an exceptional all-over geometric pattern set against a luminous ivory color background. The design is intricately composed of three prominent columns of larger, connected medallions, beautifully flanked by two columns of smaller medallions. This rhythmic arrangement creates a visually dynamic and sophisticated tapestry across the entire field.
The primary color within the field's geometric motifs is a crisp white, while the medallions themselves burst with a rich palette of classic red, earthy brown, and verdant green. The natural tones of camelhair are subtly woven throughout, adding a layer of organic warmth and authenticity to the overall design.
The rug is elegantly framed by a beautiful primary border, also in a clean white, adorned with intricate geometric designs in complementary shades of green, luminous yellow, serene blue, and warm brown. This harmonious combination of color and design makes the rug a versatile and impactful piece, capable of enhancing both traditional and transitional interiors.
