About the Item

This exceptional antique Malayer rug features a highly desirable and rare soft green field, complemented by warm sand, ivory, and muted camel tones. The allover pattern is composed of small-scale tribal diamond motifs, abstract botanical elements, and stylized human figures, reflecting the rich artistic vocabulary of Malayer’s village weavers. The border—filled with charming geometric and symbolic motifs—frames the rug elegantly and mirrors the playful, expressive nature of the interior design. The subtle shifts in the green field (natural abrash) create visual depth and lend the rug a dreamy, atmospheric quality. Malayer rugs are treasured for their inventiveness, decorative versatility, and nuanced coloration, and this piece stands out for its unusual palette and lively tribal character. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, studies, or curated spaces that call for a distinctive and uplifting antique textile. Rug Size: 5'0" × 7'2"
