The piece
Malayer
Hand-knotted from 100% wool in Iran, this traditional 3x5 rectangular rug from the Malayer Collection showcases a classic tribal aesthetic with authentic distressed character. A rich rust red field serves as the foundation for dense botanical motifs, palmettes, and interlocking floral vines. Geometric border work frames the central field with accent tones of ivory, navy blue, golden yellow, and deep brown. The medium wool pile delivers natural durability and a substantial tactile feel underfoot.
