About the Item
Discover a rare 7' x 10' gem from the heart of Persia: this early-1900s hand-knotted Malayer carpet features the distinctive “Herati Mahi” (fish) motif—an elegant emblem of Persian rug lore. The composition is rich and authentic: cotton warp, hand-spun wool weft and pile, all dyed using organic vegetal pigments to achieve warm pinks, soft oranges, taupe, cream and mellow browns.
At approximately 7′3″ x 10′, the size is unusual for a Malayer carpet (most are smaller or long-runners)—making this piece both functional and collectible. The palette provides subtle sophistication, enabling integration into a variety of interiors from minimalist white-box luxury homes to cozy heritage residences.
This rug offers:
- Timeless provenance: Early-20th-century Persia, hand-knotted in wool, rooted in craft and lineage.
- Versatile scale: For living or dining spaces in your home.
- Mature palette: Organic dyes yielding a refined color story—a subtle but rich layer of texture.
- Collector appeal: Rare size in a Malayer, unique motif, and excellent condition.
Orley Shabahang takes pride in selecting and curating the finest vintage and antique carpets, ensuring that the preservation of this ancient art form will endure for generations to come.
