This antique Persian Malayer rug (4.7 × 9.7 ft) showcases a classic allover “Herati” design rendered in rich tones of deep indigo and brick red. A dense field of repeated floral motifs creates a rhythmic lattice across the surface, framed beautifully by an ivory border filled with angular rosettes and stylized leaves in red, teal, and black. The geometric precision of the layout is softened by the handwoven charm and subtle abrash that antique pieces naturally develop over time.
Perfectly suited for a library, study, or entry foyer, this rug balances graphic strength with a sense of warmth and refinement. The saturated palette and intricate details reflect the traditional craftsmanship of Malayer weavers, while its proportions make it an ideal anchor for medium-sized interiors.
