This very beautiful Malayer, from Persia, in wool hand-knotted, from the end of the 18th century, see the beginning of the 19th century, presents us with its beautiful colors, but also the pangs of time!!!.
The colors have remained fresh, the carpet is in good general condition except for wear and measures 122 cm wide by 200 cm long.
