Cream carries the field around it, filled with blue blossoms on copper vines, red rosettes and deep red sprays. The star is lobed and set with navy and rose, and small sage and white birds sit in its arms. A small red and navy diamond pendant caps it above and below. Blue spandrels close the four corners, holding red flower clusters in handsome lobed panels. The main border has a dark brown ground carrying diagonal sprays of blue leaves, red blossoms and orange rosettes. Rose guard stripes with tiny flower heads run along both sides, and a white zigzag line edges the border. The pile is low throughout. It grounds a quiet room, the cream center bright between the blue corners and the dark brown frame. At 5'7\" by 7'1\", 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. The floral side shows plainly here, with blossoms, sprays and rosettes filling the cream field and the blue spandrels. The village side shows in the bold, blocky shapes of the red star and its pendants. Its dark brown border holds rows of flowering plants set on the diagonal, closing the cream and blue center in a deep frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
