A 1920s Persian Malayer carpet measuring approximately 122.0 × 182.9 cm (about 4’0″ × 6’0″). The composition is a claret-red field framed by an ivory border — a classic, warm color combination characteristic of the Malayer village tradition and one well suited to rooms with neutral floors and natural-fiber textiles.
Malayer is a town in the Hamadan province of west-central Persia (now Iran), and Malayer village carpets combine vocabularies borrowed from neighboring formal centers with the looser, more individual hand of village production.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique village carpet.
