About the Item
Artistry from the Heart of Persia
Step into a piece of textile history with this captivating antique Persian Malayer rug, hand-knotted from fine wool circa the 1920s. Originating from the Hamadan region in Persia (modern-day Iran), Malayer rugs are admired for their perfect balance of tribal charm and refined craftsmanship. Each piece tells a story of skill and tradition passed through generations of master weavers.

Elegant Boteh Motifs and Harmonious Palette
This exquisite rug showcases a densely arranged all-over Boteh (Paisley) pattern—an ancient Persian symbol of fertility and life. The motifs unfold across a soft ivory-beige field, outlined in deep indigo and filled with delicate hues of brick red, sage green, sky blue, and terracotta. A finely executed geometric border frames the composition, giving rhythm and order to the organic flow of the field design.

Antique Character with Gentle Patina
Presented in good, original antique condition, this Malayer retains a desirable low pile and natural surface texture consistent with its century-old age. The wool fibers have matured gracefully, and the natural vegetable dyes have mellowed into a beautifully soft, time-worn palette. The rug’s gentle wear enhances its authenticity and quiet elegance.

Compact Size with Decorative Versatility
Measuring 4'11" × 3'9" (150 cm × 114 cm), this nearly square Malayer rug offers flexible placement—perfect for layering in living spaces, accenting a reading nook, or grounding an entryway. Its warm tones and classic Persian motifs make it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
