Malayer 2164

An exceptional mid-20th century Persian Malayer rug, hand-knotted with an elegant all-over Herati geometric pattern—a hallmark of the region’s celebrated craftsmanship. Set against a highly desirable ivory background, the intricate design features layers of stylized floral and fish motifs in shades of navy, red, French blue, and brown, creating both movement and symmetry across the field.

This vintage rug is distinguished by its beautifully rendered corner spandrels in soft French blue and a classic navy border that frames the composition with balance and contrast. Rare for its age, the rug retains a full wool pile, adding plushness and preserving its texture and depth—making it both luxurious underfoot and visually rich.

Malayer rugs are known for their quality, individuality, and timeless charm. This piece is ideally suited for traditional, transitional, or eclectic interiors, and works equally well as a living room centerpiece or an elegant grounding element in a study or library.
