Captivating, Unusual Design Fine Persian Mission-Malayer Rug. 100%Natural, vegetable dye, hand woven, hand spun, baby lamb's wool pile on cotton foundation. "Mission" is a hamlet in the proximity of the town of Malayer. Malayer is a town located in the western region of Iran. These rugs display uniqueness in the broad range of designs and choices of colors. They are true artistic creations, and their value reflects their artistry. Mission-Malayer rug production has always been few and far in between and therefor very much desirable and sought after. This is a rare mid- 20th century piece with a rare all-over paisley design in mint condition. Please notice the charming effect of the larger paisleys being pregnant with a smaller ones in their bellies. This lovely piece becomes even more intriguing when one is reminded of the fact that, these pieces are woven by women of the household with very little education, if any at all. This represents man's intrinsic genius, striving for beauty and perfection, and in this case, in the form of a hand woven rug, an art underfoot. Size: 5 feet 7 inches X 4 feet 7 inches. Country of Origin: Iran.
