Malayer 1047

Discover the exquisite artistry and authentic craftsmanship of this magnificent Early 20th Century Vintage Persian Malayer Area Rug. Meticulously hand-knotted in the Malayer area of Persia (modern-day Iran), this piece is a testament to the renowned variety in design and exceptional workmanship of the artisan village weavers.  Malayer rugs are celebrated for their fine quality and unique character, and this piece is a perfect example of that tradition.

This captivating rug features a highly desirable all-over paisley pattern, a motif rich with symbolism, often representing the "seed of life" and eternity. The intricate paisley forms are beautifully rendered in a vibrant palette of verdant green, serene blue, sunny yellow, and delicate pink, creating a visually dynamic and sophisticated tapestry. This entire pattern is set against a deep and elegant navy blue field, which provides a profound and inviting backdrop.

The rug is expertly framed by a beautiful ivory border, which offers a striking and luminous contrast to the navy field. This border is further adorned with its own intricate floral designs in complementary shades of classic red, yellow, green, and pink, perfectly echoing the colors of the central field and enhancing the rug's overall visual harmony.

Malayer rugs are celebrated for their fine quality and unique character, and this piece is a perfect example of that tradition.
