About the Item

61065 Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 04'02 x 06'06. Steeped in heritage and defined by exclusivity, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Malayer rug is a distinguished work of woven art that embodies both cultural prestige and timeless design. Its midnight navy blue field is alive with a rare variation of the revered Herati pattern—angular leaves, rosettes, and tribal symbols intricately linked in a lattice of symmetry. Each motif carries whispers of Persian storytelling, weaving a language of elegance and symbolism into every inch of the composition. Framed by a rosette border and finished with serrated leaf guard bands, this piece reflects both refinement and lineage, a true statement of connoisseurship. The color palette, rich in saturated reds, deep blues, and earthy undertones, adds gravitas and allure. These tones cultivate an atmosphere that is dark and moody, yet supremely sophisticated—a rug that balances strength with refinement. The signature Herati, also known as the Mahi or fish design, holds profound meaning: a blossom within a diamond flanked by curving leaves, symbolizing fish swimming beneath the reflection of the moon. In this symbolism lies protection, fertility, and the eternal cycles of life—a depth of meaning that transforms the rug into a talisman of both beauty and cultural heritage. This exceptional masterpiece speaks to a cultivated aesthetic that blends tradition with contemporary luxury. With its masculine charm and bold geometry, it feels at home in settings of refined ruggedness: a grand ski chalet in Aspen, a hunting lodge in Wyoming, or a ranch estate in Montana. Equally, its collegiate prep aesthetic resonates with the sophistication of Ralph Lauren interiors—spaces defined by relaxed refinement and gentlemanly elegance. In every context, it commands status as a rare antique, offering interiors not only decoration but depth, prestige, and narrative. To acquire this cherished treasure is to embrace more than luxury; it is to take part in cultural preservation and social good. Each knot preserves the mastery of Persian weavers whose traditions have endured for centuries, safeguarding artistry against the homogenization of modern production. This antique Malayer becomes more than a possession: it is a responsibility, an heirloom, and a living link to one of the world’s most esteemed weaving legacies. Owning it places one within an exclusive circle of collectors who understand that true luxury lies in rarity, meaning, and the endurance of cultural heritage. Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, red, rose, royal blue, brown, dark pink, verdigris, cerulean, coffee, ink blue, mauve, beige ad dark teal with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 04'02 x 06'06. Date: 1900s. Early 20th Century.
