Malayer 1901

This vintage hand-knotted Persian Malayer gallery rug is a lively and rare find from the mid-1900s, celebrated for its vibrant red field and charming animal motifs. The rug features an array of birds woven throughout the field, and brown dogs positioned at each end—lending it a unique narrative character that collectors and design enthusiasts will love.

A small central medallion anchors the design, while ivory corner spandrels add a soft contrast. The rug bursts with geometric and floral patterns in a palette of pink, blue, green, orange, and brown, showcasing the artistry typical of Malayer weaving traditions.  With a full wool pile and in very good vintage condition, this rug is perfect for hallways, entryways, or gallery spaces seeking a pop of personality and color.
