Antique Malayer Kelleh

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful antique Malayer kelleh, dating from the early 20th century the natural dyes are vibrant yet have faded due to their age.  A rich red border of floral leaf designs, full of greens and pale blues.  The main field design is a symmetrical geometric pattern of flowers and connecting vines. Woven on a deep indigo background the variety of colours used for the pattern really lift the whole carpets palette.  These large corridor carpets were more-often commissioned for the West during the mid 19th century to early 20th century for stately homes.

This carpet has been in a private home for much of its life and been used, it is in excellent condition,  it has been professionally washed all by hand and there is minimal wear showing.  In general the pile height is excellent throughout.  The fringes are original and most of the selvedges or side-cords are too.  A wonderful long antique kelleh carpet ideal for an entrance hall, narrow corridor or even under a dining table it would look quite spectacular.

Book in a home visit or showroom visit to view this Malayer kelleh up close, we would love to help you in your preferred way.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

A Malayer Kelleh rug is a hand-knotted textile woven in the Malayer district of north-western Persia, characterised by its long and moderately wide proportions known as a kelleh size.

These carpets are constructed with hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation, using natural vegetable dyes for coloration.

Authentic pieces exhibit single-weft construction between rows of knots, asymmetrical Persian knots, traditional geometric or Herati lattice patterns, and subtle dye variations known as abrash.

A Kelleh format is designed to anchor wide hallways, gallery corridors, or long living rooms, grounding neutral timber floors with structural symmetry and rich colour.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush head, rotate annually to distribute wear evenly, and use professional dry cleaning tailored for antique wool textiles when necessary.
