Let’s talk about this antique Persian Malayer — a low-pile, stout, and sturdy wonder with years behind it and decades ahead.
The gallery size rug is from the late 19th Century and showcases a terracotta field that’s time softened and earthy, and it’s packed with rows of boteh (paisley) motifs, each one representing the seed of life. The borders? A dreamy pistachio green with touches of floral art that feel handpicked from a garden that only grows in vintage wool.
Woven by hand with vegetable-dyed wool, this rug has that perfect kind of age: scattered wear, softened character, and time-earned charm that no modern rug can fake. It holds itself with a quiet strength — a rug that’s grounded and rooted.
