Old Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Malayer, 130 × 190 cm Ref 10200011

An old handwoven Malayer rug, a valuable heritage piece and a manifestation of the unrivaled artistry of a region renowned worldwide for its refined and authentic carpets. Woven in the heart of Hamadan Province, the city of Malayer, it features the stately medallion-and-corner design, a layout that for centuries has symbolized authenticity, order, and balance in Iranian carpet art. Within this masterfully executed composition, the medallion-and-corner design embraces the boteh (paisley) motif, which—like a symbol of life and vitality—adds a distinctive visual beauty. The navy field imparts a majestic, calming depth, and, paired with a blue border, creates a gentle yet artistic contrast that invites admiration. Selected from the finest, high-quality wool and combined with a sturdy thread warp, the materials make this piece soft, supple, and resilient. Its fine weaving shows a density of about 5,100 knots/dm², evidencing the exceptional skill and precision of Malayer weavers who have placed each knot with admirable finesse. The rectangular dimensions are 130 × 190 cm (4'3" × 6'3"), and the area is 2.47 m² (26.59 ft²), an ideal scale for interiors with authentic, luxurious décor, lending any setting a distinguished and unique presence. More than a mere floor covering, this old handwoven Malayer rug is an embodiment of identity, culture, and the history of authentic Iranian art, transforming your home into a center of artistry and heritage.
