Light Blue Vase Design Persian Malayer Rug 47288

A Magnificent Light Blue Vase Design Antique Persian Malayer Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – Here is a remarkable antique Oriental rug – an antique Persian Malayer, featuring a splendid example of the coveted vase design. Characterized by a field of light blue, this antique Persian carpet delights with a complementary pallet of reds and golds. Beginning with the outer border and working inward, this charming Malayer carpet offers a series of exciting details. The primary border itself, for instance, is characterized by a soft shade of red, which has taken on a beautiful patina, as well as intricate floral and vine scroll detail elements throughout. Soothing shades of gold appear throughout these small, detailed figures in the same tone as it appears in the narrow inner and outer borders – much of which is richly decorated with minute floral details, meticulously rendered. Within the field, however, lies the great beauty of this carpet: a stunning vase design of flowing flowers and vine scrolls, set against a soft shade of blue with an inimitable patina. The large, splaying floral elements that appear throughout boast an impressive level of detail, with colorful blossoms and expertly crafted leaves giving them great depth. An excellent example of an important style of antique Persian carpet, this antique Malayer is a beautifully woven composition.
