Antique Malayer Rug – Hand-Knotted Persian Village Rug, Circa 1900

Celebrate the charm and craftsmanship of Persian village weaving with this beautiful antique Malayer rug, hand-knotted in western Iran around 1900. Malayer rugs are prized for their artistic freedom, diverse designs, and deep cultural heritage—often bridging the elegance of city rugs with the soul of tribal work.

This piece, measuring [insert dimensions], features a highly detailed Herati (fish) pattern in an allover layout, framed by a classic border of stylized rosettes and vine scrolls. The color palette is a standout, with rich indigo, rust, ivory, and soft golds that have aged gracefully over more than a century. Woven with hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes, the rug displays a soft, luminous patina that adds warmth and depth to any space.

The medium-low pile and tight weave reflect the weaver’s skill and the durability Malayer rugs are known for. It is in good condition for its age, with minor wear consistent with use and history. Any restorations have been done professionally to preserve the authenticity and structure of the piece. It lies flat, with intact ends and sides, and is ideal for a living room, hallway, study, or entryway.

Antique Malayer rugs are cherished for their one-of-a-kind, expressive qualities—no two are exactly alike. This rug’s harmonious design and balanced color tones make it an ideal addition to both traditional and modern interiors.
