Antique Persian Malayer rug, 5x7 (4'10" x 6'7"), hand-knotted wool in ivory, navy, red & pink. Large navy and blue boteh with pink and red palmettes and vines on an ivory field, framed by narrow red and navy borders. We are happy to send natural daylight photos or a short video on request.
Where it fits: Medium size: under a coffee table in a living room, at the foot of a bed, or in a home office. This page offers a Durahold Plus felt-and-rubber pad cut to this rug's size.
Care | Try at home | Free shipping: Vacuum without the beater bar and turn it end to end once or twice a year so it wears evenly. When it needs washing, have it cleaned by a professional rug cleaner, never with a carpet shampooer. One of a kind. Take it home on approval from our Evanston or Chicago showroom, or order it with free U.S. shipping and 30-day returns.
- Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off, and rotate the rug once a year so it wears and fades evenly.
- Spills: blot right away with a clean, damp cloth; never rub. Hand-knotted wool resists stains well.
- Deep clean every 3 to 5 years by a professional who hand washes handmade rugs. We hand wash and repair rugs in Evanston and Chicago.
- Use a rug pad cut to the rug’s exact size, like our Durahold Plus. It stops slipping and protects the knots and your floor.
Free insured U.S. shipping
Rugs ship free anywhere in the contiguous United States, carefully packed. Orders go out the same or next business day and you get tracking by email. Alaska, Hawaii and international: many rugs still ship free as a courtesy; the line under the price says whether this one does where you are.

Price match

Lifetime guarantee
Every handmade rug we sell is guaranteed for life to be authentic and of the quality described: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials in its listing. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
Made by hand
This rug was woven by hand long before it reached us, from hand-spun wool and dyes mixed in small batches. Its softened pile and mellow colors are the honest marks of the years, and we describe its condition plainly so you know exactly what you are getting.
- Wool: sheared, washed and combed, then spun into yarn, much of it by hand.
- Dye: dyed in small batches, so every rug has gentle color shifts (abrash).
- Weaving: knotted by hand from a pattern or from memory, row after row.
- Finishing: beaten, sheared, singed, washed, stretched and dried by hand.
Rugistan® was founded in 2021 by Shams Frough. He served five years alongside U.S. forces as an interpreter in his native Afghanistan, then made Chicago home, where he put himself through college and is still studying today.
Shams and his wife run Rugistan® together, with showrooms in Evanston and Chicago. He still travels to the weaving regions himself and buys most of our rugs in person, from the families and workshops who make them. That's how we keep our prices fair. We also clean and repair handmade rugs.

About this rug, answered
Is this the only one?
Most of our handmade rugs are one of a kind. If the listing says one in stock, this is the only one, and it is on our floor in Chicago or Evanston until it sells.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Visit either showroom, take it home on approval, or ask us for a FaceTime or video walk-around so you see the colors in daylight before we ship.
Is this rug guaranteed authentic?
Yes. Like every handmade rug we sell, it carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity and quality. It is what this listing says it is: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials described. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
Will it fit my room?
The exact size is listed above. For a living room, leave about 18 inches of floor around the rug and keep the front legs of the sofa on it. Chat or text us your room measurements and we will tell you honestly if it fits.
Does it come with a rug pad?
Every rug page has a box to add a Durahold Plus pad custom cut to the rug, so the two can arrive together. Rugs over $1,000 include that pad free: keep it in your cart and tell us in chat or in the order note, and we take the pad off the total before the order ships.
How does shipping and returning work?
Free insured U.S. shipping on every rug in the continental U.S. Online orders can be returned within 30 days in the condition received; a restocking fee of up to 15% may apply to change-of-mind returns. Pack the rug the way it arrived, in its original packaging or in plastic.
Is the size exact?
It measures 4'10" x 6'7" (147 x 201 cm), not including the fringe. Handmade rugs can vary slightly from end to end.
How do I clean it?
Vacuum without the beater bar and blot spills right away. A hand-knotted rug should always be cleaned professionally, never in the home. Rugistan® hand-washes and repairs rugs at both showrooms.
