Charming Small Size Tribal Bird Design Antique Persian Malayer Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920’s – True to the iconic antique tribal geometric design Persian Malayar rug design, this exquisite antique Persian rug features strong lines and angles to convey a sense of grounding. Few rug colors are chosen, which establishes the shapes present as even more powerful and precise. Despite the orderliness of their geometry, the representation of the shapes creates an almost natural type of chaos, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a scene in the outside world. A single thin border frames the action within this antique rug, where a hexagonal foreground rests against a black background, the space within its inky depths broken up by lines of fronds. Within the hexagon’s center is a collection of vibrant petals, beautifully rendered in blue, red and peach against the beige backdrop.
