Vintage Persian Malayer Throw Rug

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. A barbed central diamond anchors a vertical pole adorned with ashiks and martini glass motifs. Serrated botehs, banded round octagons, and four red “bugs” also embellish the pale grey-blue field. Two stick-figure humans and several birds add a lively touch. The narrow pale grey-blue border features reversing fan palmettes.
