About the Item
This exquisite Persian Malayer carpet from the 1890s is a remarkable example of the artistry and craftsmanship that defined the weaving traditions of western Iran. Measuring approximately 5'5" x 9'5", this piece features a harmonious blend of deep indigo, rust, and ivory tones, centered around a series of geometric medallions that float elegantly across a field of intricate floral motifs.
Malayer carpets are celebrated for their balance between tribal character and refined Persian design. Woven in the Malayer region, located between Hamadan and Arak, these rugs often display unique interpretations of classic Persian motifs such as the herati (fish) pattern, diamond medallions, and stylized floral elements. Each village in the Malayer district developed its own distinctive weaving style, resulting in a diversity of patterns and color palettes that make these rugs particularly collectible today.
Dating back to the late 19th century, this carpet reflects the period’s exceptional handspun wool, natural vegetable dyes, and meticulous craftsmanship. The warm patina and subtle abrash (color variation) seen throughout the rug tell the story of more than a century of history — a true heirloom piece that bridges art, culture, and time.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece in a traditional interior or as a statement piece in a modern space, this antique Malayer rug brings both elegance and authenticity to any setting.
