Small Tribal Antique Persian Malayer Rug, Rug Type / Country of Origin: Persian Rugs; Circa Date: 1920 –
This piece shows the mark of skilled hands with techniques passed down through the ages through song, poetry, and memorization. It is an all over pattern, that has a distinct central focal point. Even though it has a motif that serves as the central focus, it does not have the precise symmetry that you typically find in a city carpet. It has the spontaneous character of a tribal rug, with the weaver making artistic choices all along the piece as they go. This piece is an individual work of art and is a work of self-expression through the color choices and patterns of the weaver.
The chocolate brown background of this Persian rug gives it an earthy feel, and the reds give it the essence of spice such as red pepper, nutmeg, coriander, and other exotic spices. Rugs and accessories that give the room an eclectic or global feel are among the top trends for this year.
