More Tribal Allover Design Brown Earth-Tone Breathtaking Oversized Antique Malayer Persian Rug 51100, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1920 – This earth tone, luxurious rug showcases a sophisticated, large scale graphic pattern making it a versatile antique rug that could work in many different interior design applications. Its grandeur is very obviously depicted by its large oversize and magnificent texture. The main large scale repetitive pattern leaves room for the imagination to play between intricate detail and open negative space.

In the body of the large size antique Malayer Persian rug, four pronged rosettes are woven together with floral and diamonds. This creates a rare and beautiful impact that is simultaneously both muted and majestic.

The antique Oriental rug’s border speaks for itself. Eight layers of symmetry sport different patterns, ranging from floral to graphic to minimalist. The most dominant stripe in the oversized Malayer rug’s border depicts rosettes that vaguely mirror the large ones in the body of the antique Persian rug. This stripe is bordered by two narrow graphic sections, which in turn are bordered by a minimalist design on either side. Finally, a stripe of zigzags contain all of the rug’s majesty.

This enormous antique Persian Malayer rug is filled with beautifully similar colors, large-scale decorations and a distinctly tonal composition which let all of the patterns play in harmony. Its neutral nature affords it adaptability to a variety of spaces, styles, and aesthetics.
