Antique Large Malayer Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century piece exemplifies the refined artistry of the Persian weaving tradition. Its generous scale and sophisticated palette make it a distinguished example of the period. The field features a dense, repeating pattern of stylized palmettes or medallions, rendered in subtle tones of terracotta, sage, and deep indigo. These motifs float elegantly upon a luminous ivory ground, a characteristic often associated with the weaving workshops of the malayer region. A complex, multi-band border frames the central design, utilizing contrasting dark fields—likely deep blue or black—to highlight the intricate floral and vine work. This superb piece retains excellent structural integrity, presenting in a desirable room-size format suitable for grand interiors.
