Enclosed by a single slender border, this remarkable village Malayer antique Persian rug is devoted entirely to a novel allover pattern of impressive delicacy. Abstracted rose blossoms are densely intertwined in a harmonious, stylized floral arrangement upon a field of naturally dyed golden beige. The small 19th century Oriental rug's field possesses a symmetrical patterning that gives way to charming bird and animal details, which are unobtrusively woven into the field to delight the viewer with each new discovery.
