STORY

Western Persia, circa 1930s

Despite being medium-sized, this Malayer is guaranteed to captivate your eye with its ornate blooms, sprawling vines and authentic abrash. A very high knot count yields quite intricate curls, as well as a very sturdy foundation. The main field color is warm chocolate brown with accents of cream, sky blue and maroon. It has a medium wool pile (virtually no wear) on a thick cotton foundation. It'll last another lifetime.

This rug was carefully curated with a focus on colors, motifs and weave quality that reflect the artistry and history of where it comes from. It is an original rug produced by the people living in the region at that time. As such, it also reflects the wear and care by the generations of families that owned it and passed it down to each other as an heirloom. Signs of natural wear, repairs and asymmetry are only evidence that this rug has been around the block and proudly shows it. The rug’s unique imperfections along with a perfect amount of patina simply prove that this Malayer was built to last.
