Persian Malayer Rug #3367

A dramatic contrast of light and dark defines this antique Persian Malayer design rug that dates back over 100 years. An elongated ivory medallion, filled with finely drawn floral and vase-like motifs, rests within a deep brown, nearly charcoal surround. Stepped contours give the central composition a strong architectural shape, while small blossoms, angular leaves, and intricate geometric details soften its edges. Pale patterned corners and layered ornamental borders complete the design in shades of cream, taupe, muted olive, and earthy brown.
