This antique Malayer rug, woven more than 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 from handspun wool dyed with natural pigments, enhances the intricate drawing and the design's rhythmic symmetry. Despite its age, the rug remains in excellent condition, a testament to 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.
