This rug originates from the Malayer region in Persia (modern-day Iran) and is an example of the tribal design style prevalent in this area circa 1920. The rug is composed of a wool pile on a cotton foundation, a common material combination that provides durability and a soft texture.
Malayer rugs often showcase a blend of formal urban characteristics and rustic tribal qualities, a reflection of the diverse influences within the Malayer region. Characterized by rich, earthy tones, this rug's dominant color is red, which covers the central field and borders extensively. Gold is used for the borders, enhancing the contrast with the central design and contributing to the rug's vibrant appearance.
The design features a central medallion with an elaborate and symmetrical pattern surrounding it. The main field of the rug is densely packed with floral and abstract motifs, showcasing traditional Persian designs. Various shapes and decorative elements such as flowers, leaves, and vines are intricately woven into the pattern, creating a complex and visually captivating piece.
A hallmark of Malayer craftsmanship, this rug's borders are particularly noteworthy. Multiple borders frame the central field, each with distinct patterns. The outermost border is adorned with repeating floral motifs on a red background. A narrower cream-colored border inside this features alternating small geometric and floral designs. Another border, black in color, with intricate designs, adds depth and frames the main field artistically.
Symmetry is a key feature, with mirrored patterns on either side of the central medallion, contributing to the rug's balanced and harmonious appearance. The density of the pattern, especially in the central field and borders, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship typical of Malayer rugs.
This piece exemplifies the elegant and intricate designs associated with Malayer rugs, highlighted by the skilled artistry and cultural heritage of the weavers from this region. The combination of its rich color palette, symmetrical design, and detailed patterns makes it a fine representation of early 20th-century Persian tribal rugs.
