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. — Key Information Type: Handmade antique Persian Malayer rug Origin: Malayer, Hamadan region, Persia (Middle East) Age: Circa 1920s Material: Wool, hand-knotted Design: All-over Boteh (Paisley) motif with geometric floral border Colors: Ivory/Beige, Deep Indigo, Brick Red, Sage Green, Terracotta Condition: Good, original antique condition with age-appropriate wear and low pile Dimensions: 4'11" × 3'9" (150 cm × 114 cm)
