Fabric: Hand-spun, hand-dyed, hand-knotted,wool.
Condition: A beautiful antique Malayer (Malayir) rug in great condition with overall good low pile . NO worn spots. All sides will be secured to make the rug floor ready.
These rugs were woven in northwest Iran, adjacent to the Arak/Sarouk area. They were known for their fine weaves and design similarities to older Sarouks, but they always were woven with the Turkish (symmetric) knot and not the Persian, asymmetric knot. This piece has beautiful blues and coral reds and displays the islimis flower, vine-like design in the spandrel corners of the rug. The borders are the typical Northwest Persian borders of the calyx and leaf design, a design which also appears in some Caucasus rugs.

Vintage Shahsavan Soumak, 38″×/54″, D0201
Vintage Shahsavan Horse Soumak (D0201) 38"x54.
This all wool-on-wool Soumak piece, made in northwest Persia, features beautifully 'drawn' horses in rows from the top to the bottom of the piece. These items were often used with saddles. The Shahsavan people are known for their horsemanship and love of horses.
This piece is perfect for displaying on a wall or as a table covering.
The weave is “soumak”. Some westerners call it “brocade”. This method of weaving is typical of the Shahsevan who almost never produced a pile or knotted rug (or, if they did, very few survive to be found). A beneficial consequence of the soumak weave is that the images on this rug are very clearly defined and sharply delineated. Many (indeed most) oriental or ‘Persian’ rugs are pile carpets. That means that the pile is knotted between warps (vertical strands) (either symmetrically or unsymmetrically) and held in place by one or more wefts pulled down horizontally across the knots. However, in a soumak rug such as this the yarn/weft is woven across / twisted around the warps. Often, but not always, two warps are taken at a time. There are no ‘knots’ per se. Sometimes this method is called ‘braiding”. An advantage of soumak weaving is that the images woven into the rug are very sharply defined and delineated, as can be seen in this rug.
Vintage Persian Nain 34.5″ x 51.5″ D0294, with silk highlights
Vintage Nain with Wool and Silk Pile
Dim: 34.5"x51.5"
Condition: Excellent
Remarks: These Persian Oriental rugs are woven in and around the city of Nain in central Persia in Isfahan province, approximately 60 miles to the east of the city of Isfahan. They are relatively new compared to the antique rugs of ancient weaving centers such as Kashan, . All Nain rugs are knotted by hand using asymmetrical Persian knots with wool and silk pile on a cotton warp. In the 1920's Nain was one of the areas that produced Isfahan carpets in skilled workshops. Then beginning in the 1930s it developed it's own identity and reputation for very fine precise workshop carpets woven on a cotton foundation. In fact the word Nain is sometimes used in Iran as a synonym for 'fine'. Nains are classified in the trade today based on how many threads make up the warp. If one were to take a single strand of the fringe and pull it apart (unravel it) one would find either two or three threads in the one strand of fringe. the fewer the number of strands, the finer the rug.
