This antique Persian Malayer rug is a beautifully hand-knotted gallery-size piece originating from the village of Malayer in western Iran. It features a classic all-over Herati (fish) pattern, a timeless Persian design symbolizing harmony and continuity, woven with remarkable precision and balance.
The warm terracotta ground is enriched with soft blues, ivory highlights, and subtle green accents, creating depth and visual rhythm throughout the field. The repeating Herati motifs are framed by a finely detailed border that complements the central pattern without overpowering it.
Crafted with wool dyed using natural pigments and woven on a cotton foundation, this rug offers both durability and a refined texture. The knotting is tight and consistent, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship associated with Malayer weavings.
In great condition, this long-format rug is ideal for galleries, hallways, libraries, or narrow living spaces where an elegant traditional statement is desired. Its classic Persian character allows it to blend seamlessly into both traditional and transitional interiors while adding warmth, history, and authenticity.
