Antique Malayer Room Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving exemplifies the robust character of village production from the Hamadan region. Malayer rugs, prized for their durable construction and saturated natural dyes, offer a compelling blend of tribal vitality and formal structure, making them highly sought-after antique rugs. The central field is dominated by a deep indigo ground, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized Tree of Life motif rendered in vibrant madder reds and rich ochre. While the overall effect is densely patterned, the underlying structure adheres to a sophisticated, repeating geometric design typical of the finest weavings from this area. A striking, wide main border frames the composition, utilizing a rare teal-blue secondary ground color.
