Heritage and Craftsmanship
Malayer weavers of the 1930s had developed exceptional skill in creating allover floral lattice patterns that required both technical precision and artistic sensitivity. The tradition of using mirrored arrangements to create visual rhythm demanded careful planning and execution, particularly when maintaining pattern consistency across substantial dimensions while ensuring the overall composition felt both organized and organic.
Design Elements
The elegant allover floral lattice creates continuous pattern flow across the field through mirrored arrangements that establish balance and rhythmic harmony. Angular vine motifs and stylized blossoms fill the border with characteristic Malayer signatures, providing architectural framing that supports the interior design. Subtle abrash enriches the visual texture by creating tonal variations that add authentic depth impossible to replicate through artificial means.
Placement
At 7'7" x 10'7", this rug works beautifully in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms where its substantial proportions can anchor furniture arrangements while providing sophisticated neutral foundation.

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
