The central diamond medallion sits among scrolling vines on this amazing rug. On a deep red field, a central diamond medallion sits among graceful scrolling vines, palmettes and small flower heads in cream, steel blue and brown. Curling orange motifs mark the corners of the field. The main border is beige, carrying a vine of small blossoms in red and blue, with a dark blue stripe and a red stripe on either side. Full pile runs from the field out to the borders. The bright cream drawing lightens the red across this small space. At 2'4" by 3'2", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
About Malayer rugs
The Victoria and Albert Museum holds a carpet of 1850 to 1875 in the Mahi design that it catalogs as possibly Hamedan or Malayer. Rugs 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. It joins the village tradition of Hamedan with the floral drawing of the Arak district. This rug keeps that floral drawing in its scrolling vines and palmettes, set on a strong red ground. The beige border carries small blossoms that tie the edge to the busy center.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
