Antique 1920s Persian Malayer rug 127cm x 220cm - 1C1252

An exceptional piece of Persian textile history, this antique Malayer rug dates back to the early 20th century (circa 1920). Malayer rugs are celebrated by collectors for their individuality and village charm, often featuring unique interpretations of classical motifs. This piece showcases a bold, stepped medallion at its heart, surrounded by a field of stylized floral elements and geometric abstractions. The colours are remarkably soft, having mellowed over a century into a sophisticated palette of terracotta, deep indigo, and sun-faded ivory. Era: 1920s (Antique). Status: This is a genuine antique, over 100 years old. Condition: Features authentic age wear consistent with its century-long history. This includes areas of varying pile height and a beautifully weathered patina that adds a layer of soul and history that modern reproductions cannot replicate. Texture: Crafted from high-quality, hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation. The wool has a lustrous, lanolin-rich feel despite its age. Style: Malayer (Persian Village). Dimensions: 127 cm X 220 cm. Technique: Hand-knotted. Material: 100% hand-spun wool pile. Primary colours: Faded terracotta, midnight blue, pale gold, and soft cream.
