Malayer 1785

A rare and exquisite late 19th-century Persian Malayer village rug, this small-scale masterpiece showcases the artistry of Northwest Persia’s weaving tradition. The design features an elegant elongated medallion set within a pale yellow diamond-shaped field, beautifully complemented by navy blue corner spandrels. The medallion’s deep navy ground is delicately adorned with intricate motifs in red, green, blue, and cream, while the richly detailed navy border displays floral and geometric accents in French blue, green, yellow, and red. Woven with hand-spun wool and dyed with natural vegetable dyes, the rug exhibits a stunning abrash that enhances its warmth, charm, and authenticity. A perfect choice for collectors, interior designers, and those seeking an exceptional antique accent piece.
