Antique N.W. Persian Malayer Geometric Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece showcases the enduring artistic legacy of its Iranian / Persian heritage. Woven during the mid-19th century, it features a highly saturated palette and an intricate, repeating field design characteristic of the region's finest workshop output. The central field is dominated by a mesmerizing array of repeating stylized palmettes, or possibly boteh motifs, organized within a strict geometric structure. These highly detailed elements are rendered in rich tones of madder red, ochre, and moss green, contrasting sharply against the profound deep indigo field. The density of the design ensures visual depth and complexity, a hallmark of master weaving. Dating to the 1850s, this Malayer rug represents a significant historical document of textile art.
