About the Item
61496 Antique Persian Malayer Rug, 05'03 x 10'00. This antique Persian Malayer rug is the kind of treasure that stops connoisseurs mid-stride—an electrifying fusion of artistry, heritage, and pure visual drama. Hand-knotted in wool during a period when Malayer weavers were at the height of their creative expression, it offers an elevated collecting experience rooted in rarity and prestige. The navy-blue field—deep, resonant, almost celestial—becomes a stage for an allover lattice of red Herati motifs that shimmer like embers in motion. Each element is placed with masterful precision, giving the rug an extraordinary sense of rhythm and depth.
At the heart lies a serrated red lozenge medallion, its geometry sharp, confident, and arrestingly sculptural. This enchanting medallion is not merely decorative—it behaves like an anchor, drawing the eye inward and heightening the rug’s sense of regal balance. Around it, the Herati elements swirl with quiet luxury, softened by age yet still remarkably vibrant. The effect is immersive: a textile landscape alive with movement, symbolism, and the unmistakable gravitas of antique Malayer weaving.
The bright orange corner spandrels heighten the drama and exclusivity of the piece. Their boteh, rosettes, and enigmatic tribal symbols glow against the navy ground, each motif framed with serrated trim that echoes the central medallion. This interplay of color and form is classic Malayer—but this example captures it at a level of refinement and boldness that feels almost couture. It’s the kind of color story interior designers dream of: saturated, confident, and impossible to forget.
Encasing the field is a tribal floral boteh border on an ivory backdrop, the perfect contrast to the saturated interior. Flanked by geometric guard bands, the border adds structure and distinction—like an heirloom frame around a museum-worthy painting. For the collector who values exclusivity and storied beauty, this exquisite work of art offers a singular opportunity: a precious masterpiece with presence, provenance, and the kind of visual charisma that elevates an entire room. It is more than décor—it is a signature of taste, history, and elevated living.
