One of the things that endlessly inspires us about antique rugs woven with vegetable dyes is how beautifully they age. Time doesn’t dull them…it softens, mellows, and deepens the color story while the wool quietly proves its resilience.
This antique Persian Malayer is worn to absolute perfection. The ground carries that rare dusty rose tone that only comes from decades of life, framed by deep brick red, soft indigo, slate blue, olive, aqua blue, pastel yellow, maroon and warm sand accents. The repeating medallions feel rhythmic and balanced.
Though visibly worn, this rug is still strong and capable. The wool has held on beautifully, making it suitable for everyday living and even higher traffic areas without much worry. It’s a Persian woven in the first quarter of the 20th century…a small rug with a big soul, full of character, history, and endurance. She’s an absolute charmer, compact yet impactful, and completely floor ready.
