Hand-knotted in the village of Malayer in Northwest Persia, the rug reflects the region’s distinctive blend of refined patterning and village craftsmanship. The deep navy blue field is animated by repeated paisley forms rendered in soft green, sky blue, and warm cream, creating a harmonious balance of color and visual texture. Surrounding the field is a series of multiple decorative borders, each showcasing unique geometric motifs. Accents of ivory, navy, and brick red provide contrast and structure, framing the composition with depth and architectural presence.
