This breathtaking antique Persian Malayer rug was woven around the early part of the 20th century and features a classic, all over rug design. This soft and decorative antique Persian rug features muted watery blues, salmons, chocolate browns and ivories in warm color tones. These soft patina of the rug colors blend together gently and harmoniously as they have mellowed with age and the passage of time.

This sophisticated antique decorative rug depicts a field of tribal and geometric floral motifs against a blue background. The formal border of the Malayer rug is reminiscent of a reflecting pool that may have once graced the formal Palace gardens of the Persian Empire. Time has a subtly changed the colors to create a series of rug abrashes in dark tones, light tones, and shifting shades within the background and floral design. This feature creates additional texture and depth in the original design of this spectacular room size carpet.

One can only imagine the human hands and feet that have touched this beautiful masterpiece. This unique Persian Malayer carpet would be the perfect addition to a classic or traditional design. It would also blend well into a shabby chic or rustic theme. It has a timeless feel that will be enjoyed for many decades to come. This antique Malayer rug offers so many possibilities for those who can appreciate its true beauty.
