6×8.5 Antique Distressed Fine Malayer Carpet

:: Allover covered field in an intricately woven herati motif. Super clear delineation in design, with definite “mahi” style design elements encompassing a central floral cross section said to be representative of the earth, whilst the two fish chase each other in a never ending pursuit. Colors and shades include: Dark indigo blue, navy blue, wine red, black cherry red, sky blue, bronze, antique ivory and more. Likely a carpet once ‘tea washed’ at some point, although rather fine and enduring in timeless coloration and style. Condition notes: Large holes and regions of threadbare areas. Hard tatter to sides and ends. Recently professionally cleaned ready for in-home use! Many years of enjoyment to come with this hand knotted Persian Fine Malayer carpet made in Persia circa 1920’s vintage. Size measures 5’11” x 8’6″.
