About the Item
Persian Malayer Rug Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 11'6" × 16'5" (350 × 500 cm)
This exquisite Persian Malayer rug, dating to the 1920s, exemplifies the region’s renowned artistry and meticulous hand-weaving traditions. Spanning an impressive 17 by 12 feet, the carpet features a richly detailed boteh lattice field—a signature Malayer motif—arranged in a harmonious allover pattern that exudes rhythm, balance, and quiet sophistication.
Rendered in a distinguished palette of deep claret red, midnight blue, muted teal, and soft ivory, the design unfolds in a tapestry of stylized paisleys and floral rosettes, each boteh subtly varying in expression and hue, reflecting the hand of the artisan. The repetitive field is beautifully framed by a series of classic Persian borders: a primary border of scrolling vegetal motifs flanked by multiple guard bands that introduce refined linear contrast.
The rug’s age has bestowed it with a gentle patina, softening the tones and adding a layer of timeless character without diminishing its original vibrance. The wool pile, finely knotted and supple underfoot, speaks to the durability and craftsmanship typical of Malayer workshops of the early 20th century.
This antique Malayer rug is a striking example of Persian village weaving at its finest—ideal for interiors seeking an authentic piece of history enriched with texture, warmth, and understated elegance.
This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile 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.
