Light Color Tribal Geometric Central Medallion Design Antique Persian Malayer Rug 47272

Antique Persian Malayer Rug, Origin: Persia – Antique Persian Malayer rugs are a fascinated style of antique Persian rugs, their aesthetics being fairly widely varied and difficult to pin down. However, there are certain characteristics and design trends that make Malayer pieces typically “norther western”, meaning that they exhibit certain aesthetic values consistent with those generally found in north-western Persia. This particular example is an especially attractive antique rug, boasting classical elements of design as well as an intriguing color pallet of starkly contrasting tones. The composition of this rug is characterized by a beautiful central medallion, a pale floral element against a nearly black setting. This idea is repeated consistently throughout the composition, with dark side and corner details, richly detailed with the same pale tones that are utilized elsewhere.  A rug that exhibits classical elements of design and composition while remaining unique, this antique Malayer rug is a distinct and timelessly gorgeous work of art.
