A vintage Persian Malayer carpet. The allover Herati pattern has been turned 90 degrees so that the paired “fish” leaves create a repeating ‘S’ design, up and down the light taupe grey field. The beige turtle palette border is a regular Malayer standby. In Malayer, roller beam looms are employed for the weaving of such long carpets.
