A 1920s Persian Malayer carpet from around 1925, measuring approximately 122.0 × 183.0 cm (about 4’0″ × 6’0″). The composition pairs a rose-pink field with an ivory border — a softer, more decorative color register than the saturated reds and indigos more commonly seen in Malayer village production.
Malayer is a town in the Hamadan province of west-central Persia (now Iran), and Malayer village carpets in this format combine vocabularies borrowed from neighboring formal centers with the looser hand of village production.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique village carpet.
