This antique Malayer rug from the late 19th century is a striking example of figurative carpet art from western Iran. Its clear visual narrative and balanced composition make it ideal as a collector’s piece or a statement rug for refined interiors.
Origin: Malayer, Western Iran · Hand-knotted circa 1880–1900
The rug is entirely hand-knotted using high-quality wool with fine silk highlights on a durable cotton warp. A knot density of approximately 350,000–400,000 knots per square meter allows for detailed figurative motifs and precise ornamentation.
The design features four stylized female figures symmetrically arranged around a central Tree of Life. Floral elements, strong outlines, and a balanced palette of reds, blues, and natural tones create a narrative yet harmonious visual impact.
Due to its age, careful handling and maintenance are essential.
This antique Malayer rug is not a decorative commodity but a historical textile artwork. A genuine one-of-a-kind piece for collectors who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and cultural depth.
You’re probably wondering which carpet is really worth it. That’s why we’ve prepared this clear and honest comparison for you.
