Palatial and graceful, this oversized antique Malayer is a rare thing indeed if only for its size and all over pattern. It boasts esteemed provenance, having lain in the CEO's office at the renowned German construction firm π½ππππππππ πΌππΏ π½πππππ for much of its existence.
The dimensions are ideal and the aesthetics highly decorative. It is generously proportioned, being substantially wide and easier to use than the narrow ππ¦πππ¦π© format carpets. The lattice theme harkens back to the important 18th century carpets discussed in my book πππ πππ§π¨πππ£ πΎππ§π₯ππ©: πππ ππ€π§ππ€π©π©ππ£ ππππ§π¨ 1722-1872. As such this carpet is older than most Malayers around, closer to the earlier decades of the 19th century than others.
