This antique Malayer rug (4 × 6.7 ft) is a striking tapestry of floral expression against a deep midnight navy ground. The field bursts with blooming vines, curling tendrils, and stylized rosettes that move in asymmetric, free-flowing clusters — a hallmark of the Malayer weaving tradition known for its artistry and spontaneity.
What sets this piece apart is its unusual use of open space and contrast: light ivory and dusty rose floral motifs shimmer against the inky field, while a border of coral and soft blue diamonds frames the composition with balanced symmetry. The overall aesthetic is romantic yet bold — ideal for interiors that blend tradition with a touch of drama.
