The term Mishan Malayer refers to a distinctive type of rug woven in the village of Mishan, located south of Malayer in Iran. Produced between the late nineteenth century and the 1920s, pieces such as the one presented here are among the most refined expressions of Persian rug-making.
Hand-knotted with a symmetrical knot, these rugs are distinguished by their soft wool and compact pile, qualities that ensure both durability and elegance. The use of natural colours — including cochineal red, beige and blue — creates a harmonious and sophisticated visual effect.
Its decoration reflects a multifaceted style, combining elements drawn from the diverse artistic traditions of Central and Far Eastern cultures.
