COLORS & DETAILS
The field features a beige base with rich teal-blue borders and accents. Sage green details emerge throughout the pattern, while ivory highlights add depth to the design.

Our product photography preserves absolute authenticity - studio photographs capture the rug's true colors, while our showroom lifestyle images, captured in natural sunlight, carry a warmer tone. We believe in presenting our pieces exactly as they are, without digital enhancement or retouching.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Malayer region is renowned for its distinctive weaving tradition that uniquely combines tribal influences with classical Persian designs. These pieces are celebrated for their geometric interpretations of traditional patterns, creating rugs that bridge formal and tribal aesthetics.
Design Elements
The design displays a distinctive Malayer interpretation of the medallion pattern, characterized by its geometric rendering of floral motifs. The angular execution of the central medallion, a hallmark of Malayer weaving, reflects tribal influences in Persian artistry. The main border features a bold geometric interpretation of classic Persian patterns, while small flowers scattered throughout symbolize abundance and fertility. The natural aging has created a harmonious marriage between the warm earth tones and cooler teal accents, enhancing the rug's tribal-meets-classical character.
Placement
The 9'9" x 12'10" dimensions make this rug ideal for anchoring grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master suites. The dynamic palette of beige and teal blue creates a versatile foundation that adds sophisticated depth to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing
Professional cleaning recommended annually
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity
Malayer rugs are celebrated for their unique interpretation of classical designs. These pieces combine tribal geometrical elements with refined craftsmanship, creating lasting beauty that enhances spaces for generations.
