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.

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.
