4'6 x 6'6 Persian-Style Malayer Design Rug | Vintage Afghan Hand-Knotted Wool | Navy Herati & Coral Turtle Border

About this rug

The dense, jewel-like herati pattern beloved of Persian Malayer and Hamadan weaving covers this vintage rug's midnight-navy field, with a small scalloped red medallion floating at its center. A coral-salmon main border carries the classic turtle-palmette motif between golden-yellow guard bands, giving the whole piece a warm, antique glow. Hand-knotted in wool by Afghan weavers with a soft, settled pile, it measures 4'6 x 6'6 — ideal for a bedroom, entry, or under a coffee table. The allover pattern hides wear and traffic beautifully, and the deep blues and corals pair well with both traditional and modern rooms.
