An Antique Persian Rug with Subtle Elegance and Fine Detail
Handwoven in the early 20th century, this antique Persian rug is a beautiful example of the balance and refinement that define this weaving tradition.
Its proportions, palette, and intricate detailing come together to create a piece that feels light, sophisticated, and quietly expressive.
Design & Composition
The rug features a finely composed allover design, where stylized geometric and floral motifs are seamlessly repeated across the field. The pattern is intricate yet restrained, offering visual interest without overwhelming the space.
This type of composition makes Malayer rugs particularly versatile—ideal for both structured and relaxed interiors.
Color Story
