Antique Persian Malayer Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This exceptional room-size city Malayer features a light blue-grey field with widely spaced, offset ogival medallions in ecru and sienna. The design is complemented by secondary eight-petaled rosettes, bent leaves, and finger-fringed lozenges. The sienna main border displays a continuous palmette pattern, with oblique palmettes forming the corner turns. Sand-toned minor borders are decorated with rosettes.
