$43,000

This 1920s Antique Persian Malayer rug is a striking example of the region’s artistry, combining elegance with a warm, earthy palette. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug features a beautifully abrashed field in muted browns, taupes, and soft camel tones, enriched with subtle golden and rust undertones from natural dyes. The allover pattern blends stylized palmettes, floral sprays, and serrated leaves arranged in a harmonious, flowing composition.

The spacious design allows each motif to breathe, a hallmark of larger village carpets from Malayer. Its wide main border showcases intricate floral vinery flanked by narrow guard borders with delicate rosette and vine patterns, framing the field with balance and grace. Over a century of gentle wear has imparted a rich patina and softened contrasts, enhancing its understated sophistication.

With its generous size, calming tonal variations, and timeless Persian craftsmanship, this Malayer rug would bring warmth, texture, and an air of historic refinement to both traditional and modern interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
