This exquisite vintage Persian Malayer area rug, handwoven in the early 20th century (circa 1900–1925), is a rare and elegant example of traditional Persian artistry. The rug features a beautifully restrained, open-field design set against a warm terracotta red background, offering both sophistication and visual clarity. At its center lies a refined medallion adorned with a classic Herati pattern, rendered in navy blue with intricate details in ivory, green, and brown tones.

Flanking the medallion are two vertical axial columns, each containing stylized “vase” motifs filled with delicately woven birds and floral elements, creating a harmonious and balanced composition. The narrow ivory border frames the piece with understated elegance, showcasing complementary patterns in navy, red, and green.

A particularly charming feature of this piece is the subtle inclusion of human figures and birds scattered throughout the field—an uncommon and delightful detail that adds a unique narrative quality to this vintage rug. The fine craftsmanship, natural dyes, and artistic integrity make it an exceptional addition to any sophisticated interior space.
