5059 Antique Malayer Rug 12'7" x 20'9"
Step into timeless beauty with this exquisite Antique Malayer rug 5059, handwoven in Persia and rich with over a century of artistry. Measuring an impressive 12'7" x 20'9", this oversized piece showcases the refined elegance and harmonious design that define the finest antique Persian rugs.
The rug’s field is adorned with a densely detailed all-over floral motif, including stylized rosettes, palmettes, and serrated leaves—intertwined in a masterful balance. The color palette is a sophisticated blend of faded salmon pinks, muted blush, soft celadon greens, sky blue, steel gray, and touches of ochre and rust, resulting in a gentle, time-softened patina that only authentic age can achieve.
The triple-layered border frames the design with floral and vine scrolls that echo the central theme, adding structure and richness to the composition. Hand-knotted in fine wool on a cotton foundation, this Malayer has a low pile with visible abrash, lending it both texture and character.
