Vintage Persian Malayer Room Size Carpet

A Wool pile with symmetric knots on an all-cotton foundation. This West Persian village carpet features a medium brown field with an allover pattern of varied rosettes, palmettes, and leaves, detailed in ecru, straw, and green, in a mellow palette. It follows the Mahal style, often referred to as 'Mahalayer.' The sandy straw border displays outward-pointing, rough triangular palmettes. The field pattern shifts slightly but comfortably toward one end, while remaining balanced laterally. The mellow color palette gives the rug a sense of larger scale.
