An exceptional 19th-century Persian Malayer area rug, masterfully handwoven circa the late 1800s. This vintage piece showcases an intricate allover geometric pattern set against a soft ivory field, beautifully framed by a classic brick red border. Highlighted by a striking series of large-scale geometric medallions in shades of turquoise, brown, and brick red, anchored on a rich navy blue background, this rug makes a bold and sophisticated design statement.Subtle variations in color, known as abrash, add depth and visual interest, reflecting the authentic use of hand-dyed natural vegetable pigments. These organic dyes have gracefully aged over time, creating a vibrant yet harmonious palette of turquoise, brown, green, red, and ivory.
