A vintage Persian Malayer rug. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: " segoe="" ui",="" "helvetica="" neue",="" "apple="" color="" emoji",="" "segoe="" ui="" helvetica,="" arial,="" sans-serif;="" font-size:="" 14px;"="">This striking Hamadan-area scatters displays the characteristic Mazlagan ‘lightning bolt’ edges to the ivory field with its unusual ornament of serrated hypotenuse triangles. The rosette chain spandrels are strictly Mazlagan. The weave is better than a typical Malayer, and the pile is clipped quite short.
