About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian Malayer rug dates to approximately 1870–1890 and reflects the village-weaving traditions of western Iran. Hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, it is constructed with an asymmetrical (Persian) knot and a medium pile measuring roughly 4–6 mm. The rug is produced in a standard small rectangular format, well suited to intimate rooms and secondary seating areas. Its manageable scale and durable materials make it both decorative and functional within a range of refined residential interiors.
Design Analysis
The design is an allover composition with a loosely organized central alignment rather than a fixed medallion. Geometric stars, cartouches, hooked polygons, rosettes, and stylized palmettes are distributed across the field with intentional spacing, creating a balanced yet open rhythm. A wide main border frames the composition, carrying related geometric and abstract floral motifs that echo the field. The palette centers on pale aqua blue paired with warm camel, beige, tan, and soft brown accents. Low contrast and gentle abrash lend the rug a calm, age-softened appearance with subtle visual movement.
Weave and Performance
With an estimated knot density of 100–150 KPSI and moderate warp depression, the rug offers reliable structural integrity typical of Malayer weavings. The wool pile has a supple hand and moderate sheen, while the woven cotton foundation provides stability without excessive stiffness. This construction supports light to moderate foot traffic, making the rug suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and low-traffic dining or sitting areas.
Professional Application
Designers will appreciate this rug for its soft color palette and understated tribal geometry, which pair well with neutral interiors, natural woods, plaster walls, and both traditional and transitional furnishings. Its small scale works especially well as an accent rug, layered piece, or focal element in compact rooms where subtle character is preferred over bold contrast. As an antique Malayer, it also offers strong value retention within a core-value collecting tier.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition for its age, with even wear, stable fibers, and no noted repairs, stains, odors, or moth damage. Abrash and tonal variation are consistent with age and natural dyes rather than wear-related issues. Professional cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of aggressive scrubbing, aligning with 1stDibs standards for well-preserved antique rugs.
