This hand-knotted wool Late 19th Century distressed antique Persian Malayer gallery rug is a magnificent relic of Persian craftsmanship, embodying a timeless elegance that speaks to centuries of artistic tradition. The antique wash lends a softened, ethereal quality to its hues, enhancing the Malayer rug’s quiet sophistication and understated grandeur. A beautifully striated blue field, enriched with delicate floral tracery, serves as a mesmerizing backdrop for the grand cusped medallion at its heart, a symbol of unity and balance.

Encasing this masterpiece is a distinguished border of geometric precision, composed of interlocking floral elements and stylized boteh, creating a rhythmic frame that lends structure to the composition. The interplay of delicate botanical motifs and refined symmetry encapsulates the essence of Malayer weavings, which were highly prized for their balance of tribal character and courtly grace. The intricate yet airy design ensures that the Persian rug remains a versatile statement piece, capable of enhancing both modern and traditional interiors alike.
