Large Light Blue Gray Persian Malayer Rug 48882, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rugs, Circa Date: 1920 – Brilliant gold and vermilion hues dominate the landscape of this Malayer rug, bringing to mind visions of royalty, opulence and vibrant sunlight. Several borders nest around each other, their interiors creating just enough contrast for the gently floating petals and blooms within to stand out on their own. These motifs set the theme for the rest of the Persian rug to follow, effortlessly leading the viewer’s eyes to the center of the antique rug, where a massive gold field houses a multitude of those same elements. There is plenty of spacing set between the various blossoms and fronds, suggesting an almost natural arrangement of leafy forms.
