This stunning early 20th century Persian Malayer area rug is a finely hand-knotted example of village weaving at its most sophisticated. The composition features a richly saturated red field, anchoring an elegant central medallion rendered in ivory and refined French blue—an interplay of color that creates balance, clarity, and visual harmony.
The corner spandrels are woven in beautifully abrash French blue, displaying subtle tonal shifts that add depth, movement, and the unmistakable character of naturally dyed wool. Framing the design is a bold red border filled with intricate, repeating geometric motifs, a hallmark of Malayer craftsmanship and rhythmic precision.
