Old Malayer Rug, 137 X 202 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool In Persia, Iran, Early 20th Century

Small clarification: ALL of our rugs and objects are FREE SHIPPING for France.

Old Malayer carpet circa 1900/1920 with a respective size of 137 cm x 202 cm in length.
In good condition, velvet, normal wear, very solid carpet and restored edges.
Our model features an elaborate stepped medallion, followed by two very significant geometric pendants.
The colors, four different blues, putty, mouse gray and light gray accompanied by a touch of brick red wool which cuts the carpet in two and gives it a curious look with the most beautiful effect.
The beautifully designed border is made up of stylized flowers, daisies, and a maze of lines.
These rugs are knotted in strong, thick, shiny yarn, often dyed with natural dyes and of course hand-spun.
This yarn gives a durable surface and a beautiful color palette.
What they have in common (the Hamadan) is that they are now woven with cotton warp threads and a weft thread between each row of knots.
The patterns are often geometric, but there are also very elaborate floral patterns.
## Newer rugs, post-1980, are often made of synthetic colors and lower quality wool than older rugs.
Generally speaking, we can say that Malayer rugs are very good rugs for everyday use.
The family of Hamadan carpets includes types of carpets, such as: Bortchalou, Enjilas, Hosseinabad, Lilihan, Khamse, Zanjan and the Malayer, model that we present.
These carpets are also sometimes sold under the general name of hamadan, carpets which cover many villages.
### The carpet has a braid all around which allows old carpets to preserve them very well over time.
This quality piece has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.
