About the Item

This mid-20th century Persian Malayer rug, measuring 3' 2" x 6' 0", showcases a bold and expressive tribal aesthetic, distinguished by its dynamic geometric patterning and saturated earth-toned palette. The terracotta ground of the field is richly ornamented with a series of sharply drawn medallions, stylized rosettes, and angular floral devices arranged in a vertically mirrored layout. Accents of ivory, black, slate blue, soft pink, and ochre create a striking contrast, highlighting the stepped medallions and bird-like corner figures that lend a sense of rhythm and motion to the design. The overall composition is anchored by a narrow yet detailed main border, filled with a rosette-and-vine meander flanked by subtle inner and outer guard stripes. Typical of Malayer weaving, this rug blends village spontaneity with classical Persian structure, resulting in a unique and artful balance between symmetry and tribal charm. Its elongated proportions and bold iconography make it especially suited as a statement piece in transitional or eclectic interiors.
