Antique Decorative Long and Narrow Persian Malayer Shabby Chic Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920 – This antique Persian rug, a gorgeous and sophisticated shabby chic Malayer antique rug presents a wonderfully dreamy color palette with a gentle pattern that seems to whisper against the background. This antique Persian Malayer rug features a color scheme that contains many soft natural tones, such as gentle linen, soft sky blue accents and creamy buttermilk. These soothing neutral shades work well with the sweeter tones, such as the delicate sage and the powdery pale sapphire blue, as they represent the foreground of this Persian shabby chic rug. The richly patterned border leads the eye effortlessly through the dreamscape of this antique Malayer rug, while the repeating focal center allows the eye to roam uninhibited through the work.
