About the Item
Doris Leslie Blau Antique Persian Malayer Wool Rug (Size Adjusted)
Size: 12'4" × 18'0" (375 × 548 cm)
This exquisite Persian Malayer rug, woven at the turn of the 20th century, is a superb example of the artistry and craftsmanship for which the Malayer weaving tradition is renowned. The rug features an all-over botanical lattice design rendered in a refined palette of earthy browns, soft beiges, muted blues, and warm terracotta tones. Stylized floral rosettes, palmettes, and geometric medallions interlace across the deep midnight field, creating a sense of rhythm and harmony.
The wide borders frame the composition with intricate vine-scrolls, angular floral motifs, and layered guard stripes, balancing delicacy with grandeur. The subtle abrashed field—showing gentle variations in dye—adds depth, movement, and the patina of age.
Malayer rugs from this era are celebrated for their diversity of patterns, meticulous detail, and enduring durability. This piece, with its stately proportions (approx. 18 x 12 ft), would have originally been commissioned for a grand interior, and today it serves as both a decorative masterpiece and a collector’s treasure. Its combination of bold graphic presence and soft, time-mellowed tones makes it remarkably versatile—equally suited for traditional, eclectic, or modern spaces.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
