Antique Malayer Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of malayer weaving originates from the Hamadan region of Western Persia. Known for their robust construction and deep, saturated dyes, Malayer rugs represent a sophisticated blend of village and city design influences. The palette is defined by a rare, rich chocolate brown field—a highly desirable color that provides a dramatic backdrop for the intricate design. The dense, repeating structure utilizes an allover pattern of stylized palmettes and blossoming vines, rendered in soft rose, cream, and subtle indigo accents. Characteristic of the finest Iranian weaving from this period, the wool quality is superb, exhibiting a lustrous sheen that enhances the depth of the natural dyes.
