Malayer 1248

This antique Persian Malayer area rug, woven in the early 20th century, is a striking example of the refined village artistry for which the Malayer region is celebrated. The composition centers on a graceful, symmetrical vase-and-floral motif, elegantly arranged on a luminous cream-colored field and anchored by a delicate central medallion.

Rich yet balanced accent tones of soft red, ivory, and blush pink animate the field, while the corner spandrels and medallion are enriched with a rare and captivating French blue, lending depth and visual contrast to the overall design. The harmonious palette and classical floral structure make this rug exceptionally versatile—equally suited to traditional interiors and thoughtfully layered contemporary spaces.

Handwoven using time-honored techniques and natural dyes, this Malayer rug embodies the quiet sophistication and enduring quality.   As a vintage, reusable work of art, it also reflects a sustainable approach to design—celebrating craftsmanship, longevity, and reduced environmental impact.
