Malayer wool rug

Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
This Malayer rug, originating from the Persian regions, is a true masterpiece of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The pile, made of wool, is soft and plush to the touch, a distinguishing feature of the textile tradition of the region. The warp and weft are made of cotton, providing durability and a structure that ensures its longevity over time.

Its beauty lies particularly in the richness of the decorative patterns, typical of the Malayer tradition, characterized by intricate geometries that unfold across the entire field of the rug. The deep tones of red and blue, accented with lighter shades like ivory and beige, create a contrast that draws the eye and gives depth to the composition.

However, the rug bears the marks of time, with some worn areas, known as "rapé," showing signs of wear from use and age. These marks, far from being defects, add a patina of history and charm, making the rug a testament to past eras. Every worn area tells stories of lived lives, welcoming spaces, and traditions passed down from generation to generation.

This piece is not just a decorative item but a historical object, capable of enriching any room with the warmth and elegance typical of Persian textile art.
