Antique Malayer Rug 178x102cm

This lovely antique Malayer rug originates from the renowned rug-weaving region of West Iran, known for its intricate patterns and refined craftsmanship. An excellent example of Malayer weaving, this piece offers a perfect blend of traditional artistry and decorative elegance.

The navy blue field is adorned with interconnecting soft red and light blue flower heads, creating a flowing, organic pattern that feels both rhythmic and graceful. This charming floral design is framed by a striking geometric border in cream, which adds a touch of structure and balance to the more fluid interior.

A unique feature of this piece is its slightly narrower center compared to the ends, a characteristic that adds authenticity and charm—often seen in genuinely handwoven village rugs, where looms and tension can subtly shift during the weaving process.

Woven with soft wool and showcasing a beautifully aged palette, this Malayer rug is ideal for anyone seeking a decorative antique with real character, suitable for both classic and eclectic interiors.
