About the Item
Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1910-1920, this 4x6 antique Persian rug of Malayer provenance is an exciting new addition to Rug
Kilim's curation of important classics—a regal and intricate pictorial design of both intricate craft and cultured beauty.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will immediately recognize this as belonging to the category of Persian figural carpets that drew inspiration from historical manuscript paintings and royal court life. The design is organized in two distinct registers, with the upper section depicting enthroned nobility or royalty with attendants under an architectural canopy, while the lower register presents courtiers or supplicants arranged in formal presentation. Though open to interpretation, its very likely the central figure in the upper field is one of the early emperors of Persia, such as Hoshan Shah and Cyrus the Great (seen with similar depictions of pose and adornments).
The colorway features a warm beige field that provides the perfect backdrop for the figures rendered in vibrant coral reds, indigo blues, jade greens, and golden yellows. The multiple borders employ the classic Persian approach of creating a frame-within-frame effect, with the primary border featuring a sophisticated floral vine pattern against a deep navy ground. This rug represents one of the most sophisticated expressions of Persian textile art—moving beyond decorative patterns to create narrative scenes that document historical or legendary events.
Condition:
This antique Persian Malayer rug further enjoys good condition for its origin and age.
