About the Item

This striking antique Malayer rug showcases a powerful tribal medallion composition rendered in a rich palette of slate blue, warm gold, ivory, and soft camel. The central field is filled with bold geometric forms, stylized architectural motifs, and abstract botanical elements, reflecting the inventive spirit of Malayer village weaving. The surrounding border is equally expressive, featuring angular motifs and symbolic forms that echo the interior design while providing strong visual framing. Subtle abrash and natural dye variations create movement across the field, lending the rug an organic, time-softened character. Malayer rugs are prized for their artistic freedom, strong graphic presence, and decorative versatility, and this example stands out for its confident design and harmonious color balance. Ideal for living rooms, studies, or curated interiors seeking a statement piece with authentic tribal character. Rug Size: 5'0" × 6'7"
