Mishan Malayer Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a stunning rug. Finely knotted with silky wool and a range of rich colours beautifully combined. The meandering floral border is something to behold and could be overlooked such is the strength of the main field. Soft pink tendrils emerge from the ends and snake their way towards the centre carrying flowers of all colours. The combination of this pink against the deep blue field is breathtaking and the picture is completed with the light green central medallion replete with flowers. Finally the bright blue spandrels are joined by an inner border framing the inky blue field. Some rugs have a mesmeric effect and it can be difficult to stop looking at them, this is one in that category. It has everything you might want in a decorative rug.

Very good, very minor wear and a little colour run as is common in Malayer pieces.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mishan Malayer rugs originate from the Malayer region in western Persia, known for producing finely woven village carpets that combine stylized curvilinear floral motifs with geometric medallion structures.

Traditional Persian rugs feature a pile made from hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments, knotted onto a sturdy cotton or wool warp and weft foundation.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted wool pile showing subtle dye variations known as abrash, flexible handles, and intricate single-weft construction that creates clear, detailed patterns on the reverse side.

A classic Persian rug serves as an anchor in modern spaces, adding depth, texture, and historical contrast when layered beneath contemporary furniture or minimalist timber pieces.

Preserve wool carpets by vacuuming regularly without a suction brush, rotating yearly to ensure even wear, using a quality underlay, and professional dry cleaning when necessary.
