Hand-knotted in the village of Malayer in Northwest Persia, the rug showcases a classic allover Herati pattern—a timeless Persian motif symbolizing abundance and continuity. The richly saturated navy blue field is animated by finely articulated design elements rendered in soft green, blush pink, sky blue, and rust red, creating depth and subtle movement across the surface. A warm ivory border frames the composition beautifully, offering contrast while maintaining an elegant, cohesive palette.
Woven with a refined hand and strong village character, this Malayer rug exemplifies the enduring craftsmanship and sophisticated color sensibility for which the region is celebrated.
