Fine Melayir Rug, West Persia, Circa 1910, 1.80m X 1.18m

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a very pretty Persian village wool rug from the early 20th century. The wool quality is soft and supple with a fine weave and a low clipped pile. The conical arrangement of the botehs on the ivory field is quite eyecatching, while the sapphire blue spandrels with colourful blossoms and stars is so charming and playful. Note also the jagged 'lightning' style outlines to the field which is reminiscent of the famous designs of the nearby town of Maslaghan. This rare piece has been cared for through the generations and has survived in very good condition. We have given it a professional cleaning and now it has a very soft texture. The original ends and sides are intact. A highly decorative rug which could transform your setting.

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 West Persia, produced predominantly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are recognized for their single-weft construction, diverse stylized floral or geometric patterns, and rich use of natural vegetable dyes.

Traditional Persian rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton or wool foundation. Dyes are derived from natural plant materials, such as madder root for red shades and indigo for blue tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight asymmetry in pattern and weave, soft natural colour variation known as abrash, and hand-bound edges. Examining the reverse side reveals a distinct hand-knotted structure without machine synthetic backings.

Position the rug as an anchoring element in a seating area, entryway, or study to add texture and depth. Detailed geometric patterns pair effectively with plain timber flooring and contemporary tailored furniture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting to avoid damaging the wool pile with rotary beaters. Rotate the rug periodically to promote balanced wear and treat liquid spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth.
