{"product_id":"11013-5x7-persian-handmade-malayer-vintage-rug","title":"11013 - Persian Malayer Area Rug 4'11\" x 7'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe rows of rust boteh are what the eye finds first on this charming rug. Worked on a beige field, each boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, has a rust heart outlined in navy and sits above a small flowering spray in slate blue and rose. Tiny rosettes dot the ground between the rows. There is no medallion, and the repeat runs over the whole field. The handsome rust border carries large lobed rosettes in slate blue, framed in navy and linked by a dark vine. Navy guard stripes with small rose and rust flower heads run on either side of it. The pile is low, with a few small spots where the foundation shows. It grounds a quiet room in warm rust and beige, and the navy stripes give its edges a clear line. At 4'11\" by 7'3\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRugs from the villages around Hamedan were taken to the city, long one of the great rug markets of Persia, and were often sold abroad under its name. Malayer sits between Hamedan and Arak in western Persia, which is exactly where its weaving sits too. It joins the village tradition of Hamedan with the floral drawing of the Arak district. This rug shows the floral side in its border, where lobed rosettes and flower heads hang on a dark vine across the rust ground. Its field keeps a steady village rhythm, with boteh and flowering sprays set in straight rows over beige. Navy and slate blue outline nearly every motif, so the pattern stays clear from end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67998841897273,"sku":"AL_11013_150x222","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11013_1.jpg?v=1794040303","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11013-5x7-persian-handmade-malayer-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
