This rug originates from the Malayer region in Persia, known today as Iran, and dates back to approximately 1935. Characterized by its tribal style, the rug features a café au lait background with a beige border, and its primary color is brown. It is constructed from wool on a cotton foundation, a typical material composition for Malayer rugs of this period.
Malayer carpets exhibit a unique blend of design influences due to the region's mix of urban centers and smaller villages. This interplay results in rugs that can embody both formal urban craftsmanship and rustic tribal aesthetics. The design often includes stylized renditions of traditional Persian motifs, with the weavers adding an abstract quality that lends itself well to contemporary interior decoration. Spontaneous all-over patterns are common, showcasing the weaver's creativity and individual artistry.
The color palette of Malayer rugs, including this one, typically features rich and earthy tones. These colors not only contribute to the rug's adaptability in various decor styles but also create a dynamic visual appearance. The short pile of the rug preserves the crispness and detail of its intricate patterns, which likely reflect the collaborative production techniques involving multiple family members or individual artistic expression for smaller pieces.
Malayer rugs often highlight the lifestyle and natural surroundings of the local tribal populations. This rug, with its earthy brown tones and modest yet sophisticated design, embodies the simplicity and connection to nature that is characteristic of the region. The level of craftsmanship evident in the rug reflects the skill and artistry prevalent among Malayer weavers, contributing to the rug's historical and cultural value.

Don’t take our word for it
Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.
I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!
Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!
Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
