Antique Persian Malayer Gallery Rug

No. 21427
Persia, Early 20th Century
5 ft. 1 in. x 9 ft. 9 in.
(1.54 x 2.95 m)

A wool pile with symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The warm rust-colored field features a carefully arranged lattice of open dumbbells and semi-rectangular open cartouches, accented by rosettes, octograms, and serrated leaves. The sandy-toned border showcases a partially hooked trapezoidal vine with small flowers in the reserves. These kellegis (long rugs) were a popular creation in Malayer during the early 20th century.
