Early 20th Century Persian Malayer Carpet
Another clever interpretation, this time of the Afshar palmette pattern in half-drop rows. The brown field sets off the red and gold elements well. Tiny botehs and an animal (dog?) add rustic charm. The ivory border has a version of the rosette and diagonal leaf pattern. This c. 1920 west Persian Malayer rug is in excellent condition and would pair well with an Afshar in the same design.
