Antique Large Malayer Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of a malayer weaving showcases the sophisticated design capabilities of 19th-century Persian village production. Characterized by a highly durable wool pile and meticulous knotting, this piece is a testament to the enduring quality of antique rugs from the Hamadan region. The visual impact of this piece is immediate, driven by the striking contrast between the ivory field and the deep, saturated spandrels.
