Description

A very handsome and fine antique Malayer rug.  The condition of this piece is very good indeed, with a finely cut wool pile, this type of finer town rug often had a lower pile as the wool has been cut very flat. The deep blue medallion is very beautiful in execution, with a wonderful pale ground surrounding it.  The red corner spandrel design is extremely elegant, please do look at the additional images to see all the intricate floral detail and faded ancient colours.

The weaving quality of this piece is very high and the wool used is of very fine quality, all amounting to a very lovely and attractive fine rug.

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

Malayer rugs originate from the Hamadan region in north-western Iran, hand-woven in villages celebrated for creating highly detailed, floral-patterned textiles with central medallions.

These carpets are constructed with a hand-spun wool pile tied onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation using hand-knotted techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit single-warped weave structures, natural vegetable dye tonal shifts known as abrash, stylized floral or geometric field patterns, and fine, soft wool quality.

A Persian Malayer rug serves as a foundational element, offering visual grounding, colour warmth, and pattern contrast when placed beneath modern minimalist furniture or inside period settings.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and use professional specialist rug restorers for cleaning.
