This lovely antique 1920s Persian Angeles Malayer rug features a striking all-over linear design of outlined paisley motifs, or boteh, against a warm apricot field. The rug's field showcases stunning abrash, natural dye variations that bring depth and character to the piece. Fish motifs in the spandrels rest against a vibrant green backdrop, and jagged triangles resembling mountain peaks add to the rug’s intricate design. The green spandrels offer a wonderful contrast to the rich tones, creating a dynamic sense of life and balance within the design.
The first border band features the “fence of security" motif in navy and sky blue, while the main border displays a caterpillar motif on a warm ivory ground. Crafted with natural dyes from plants, vegetables, roots and other natural resources, the rug's palette has gracefully aged over time. Its luxurious wool, known for its durability and ability to develop a rich patina, only enhances its beauty and charm with age.
Angeles Malayer rugs are perfect for those who appreciate the authenticity and charm of village-made Persian rugs. Their organic designs, rich colors, and historical significance make them versatile pieces that enhance both traditional and contemporary spaces, adding history, artistry, and warmth to any room.
