5045 Malayer 12'4" x 20'1"
This breathtaking Antique Malayer rug - 5045 is a rare oversized example of Persian village weaving at its finest. Measuring an impressive 12'4" x 20'1", the rug offers a richly detailed medallion design nestled within a sea of delicate floral motifs and geometric flourishes.
The piece radiates in a dreamy palette of faded blush, dusty rose, sky blue, parchment ivory, and olive-grey, worn beautifully into a soft, watercolor-like harmony. Its central medallion and stepped corner spandrels are gracefully articulated, all framed by layered floral borders with finely drawn vine scrolls and rosettes.
Woven in the late 19th to early 20th century, this Malayer exemplifies the transition between tribal character and classical formality. It is ideal for high-ceiling interiors, refined open floor plans, or collectors looking for a piece that effortlessly bridges antique charm with design sophistication.
