Antique Large Malayer Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug

Antique Large Malayer Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of malayer rugs showcases the finest weaving traditions of West Persia, characterized by its robust construction and finely detailed design work. The field is dominated by a tight, repeating geometric floral pattern—a classic interpretation of the allover rugs style—which creates a visually textured surface. This dense arrangement ensures that the eye is constantly engaged, minimizing the need for a central medallion and maximizing spatial continuity across the floor plane. Woven with naturally dyed wool, the palette relies on sophisticated contrast between the warm, aged beige ground and the deep, saturated secondary colors.
