Antique Malayer Carpet, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – This antique Malayer carpet showcases a brilliant collection of colors, with the vivid hues drawing attention to the attractively geometric floral designs throughout. Bright ruby and garnet reds play against a field of deep navy blue, accented with fine ivory, apricot, and cobalt. Hints of sage and rust add further depth to the colors. The strong borders contain designs reminiscent of keyholes, linked together with vine scrolls. Further along, similar scrolls appear in the flanking frames and feature charming blossoms between each curve. The focal point of this antique rug is the repeating abstract geometric shapes within, which coalesce into a bold, appealing pattern that allows the eye to flow over every detail without missing any of the finer artistic elements.
