Description

Beautiful early 20th century Persian Malayer Gallery or Corridor Size Rug. Originating from the skilled village weavers of the Malayer region in Persia, this rug embodies the distinctive geometric elegance and robust construction for which these textiles are highly prized.

This exquisite Malayer rug features an expansive all-over design characterized by striking large geometric forms. These captivating motifs are set against a warm and inviting tan color field, providing a sophisticated and earthy backdrop. The geometric designs themselves are rendered in a harmonious palette of deep navy blue, serene baby blue, warm brown, delicate pink, and sunny yellow, creating a visually dynamic and engaging composition.

The true beauty of this rug is enhanced by the use of natural vegetable dyes, which are known to create a phenomenon called "abrash." Over time, these organic dyes develop subtle yet beautiful variations in shade, lending a rich and unique patina to the design throughout both the field and the border. This characteristic aging process adds depth, authenticity, and an inimitable charm that only improves with time.

The main design is elegantly framed by a crisp cream color border, which is beautifully adorned with its own intricate geometric design forms in various colors, perfectly complementing the rug's central palette and completing its cohesive aesthetic.
