Circa 1890 and proudly wearing every single year of it, this village Malayer from Persia has that distressed magic that only true age can create. The navy blue ground still peeks through with graphic flair, framed by a wide border band in deep dusty maroon that feels rich and grounded all at once. Those decorative motifs along the edge? Bold, confident, unfussy…village weavers doing what they did best.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, you can see the soft shifts in tone, the mellowing that only time and real long term use can bring. This beauty is worn in the very best way…low pile, farmhouse style and shabby chic; The kind of piece that quiets a room and anchors it with history.
There’s something about an old Malayer like this…simply raw, completely soulful, and full of character you simply cannot fake. She has graphic presence but still plays well with others. Please study the detailed photos for full character and condition. Every inch tells a story…every fade, every thread, every softened corner.
We will ship it with a pad on the house to keep this little gem nice and snug.
