Antique Malayer Wool Rug - C. 1900-1920 - 4'4" X 9'6"

Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions.

Woven in villages surrounding the town of Malayer, in Northwest Persia, these rugs are celebrated for their inventive, small-workshop craftsmanship and decorative patterns. Produced primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Malayer rugs often feature articulated geometric or stylized floral motifs arranged in repeating or medallion-based designs. Soft, resilient wool yarns produce nuanced, textural pile, while natural dyes create a distinctive tapestry of striking color, vibrant hues and rich contrast.
