Antique Persian Malayer Rug, Persia– This lavish antique Persian Malayer rug embraces the angular style of tribal designs and the sophistication of northwestern city carpets. The stately earth-tone field features a beautifully composed inset medallion with a striking cruciform centerpiece, a floral inner field and a frame of decorative spandrels with architectural contours that enhance the elegant composition. Dainty botanical vines with poly chrome accents and decorative outlines meander through the field and ornamental frame, which are highly ornamental yet retain their simple, clear northwestern charm. The stately medallion-covered field is encircled by iconic turtle and vine scroll borders that are a regional specialty. Warm accent colors, precisely outlined motifs and scrolling vines with mind-bending under-over intersections highlight the resplendent nature of the area’s well-defined botanical designs that have earned Malayer rugs acclaim in other carpet-producing regions and with interior designers.
