This antique Malayer rug, woven over a hundred years ago, is a fine example of a weaving tradition with deep roots. The distinctive colour combination and the stylised Herati pattern—featuring rosettes and fish motifs within a diamond lattice—are specific to the region, long known as a centre of carpet making.

Its refined palette, created using handspun wool dyed with natural pigments, enhances the intricate drawing and the rhythmic symmetry of the design. Despite its age, the rug remains in excellent condition, a mark of the high-quality materials and workmanship used.

Collectable and rich in character, this piece is not only decorative but also a cultural artefact reflecting generations of craftsmanship and taste.

Wool on a cotton base.
