Beautiful Small Scatter Size Finely Woven Antique Malayer Carpet, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920 — Originating from Persia, this antique rug is a fine example of breathtaking detail and color. Jewel-like shades of azure and sapphire coalesce with terracotta and forest green, accented by cream and buttermilk with hints of heather grey. The blossoms of lilies, fox gloves and tulips and the leafy fronds of ferns are elegantly displayed in the intricate artistry of this piece, which features a bold border that is flanked by two thinner frames. The focal point of this work is the target-like center, which progresses out seamlessly into yet another universe of ornately coordinated details.
