Antique Malayer Carpet, Persia, 1900 — From the soft, angular patterns to the gently laid colors and details, this antique carpet from Persia showcases the best of understated elegance. A smooth, creamy taupe sets the background for the entire piece, while darker coffee brown hues create lines of contrast for the borders and shapes within. At the center of the carpet are zig-zagging bands of earthy brown, which create incomplete triangles that feature beautiful flowers within. Fluttering petals mark the borders of the work, with all shapes and patterns defined by those two primary colors as they create simple scenery that speaks volumes in its soothing presence.
