Naturally-Aged Vintage Persian Malayer Rug
9'2" x 12'5" | 280 cm x 378 cm
OVERVIEW
This exceptional Persian Malayer rug, crafted circa 1940s, is hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation with a low pile/shaved texture. This piece features a sophisticated palette of beige and taupe, with powder blue and ivory accents.
COLORS & DETAILS
The field features a warm beige base with taupe geometric patterns throughout. Subtle powder blue accents appear sparingly, while ivory highlights define key motifs.
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE
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.
CONDITION
This vintage treasure has been professionally cleaned and prepared for its new home. As with all handcrafted vintage pieces, subtle variations in pattern and texture speak to its authentic character rather than serve as imperfections. Any delivery creases will naturally settle within days of laying flat. We recommend allowing the rug to breathe in fresh air (and gentle sunlight if possible) for a few hours after delivery, as organic wool benefits from this natural conditioning process.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Malayer region is renowned for its distinctive weaving tradition that uniquely combines tribal symbolism with geometric precision. These pieces are celebrated for their bold patterns and rich cultural significance, reflecting generations of artistic heritage.
Design Elements
The design displays the characteristic Malayer all-over diamond lattice pattern, filled with stylized boteh and tribal motifs. The main border is distinctive with its compartmentalized design, each section containing ancient tribal symbols of protection and prosperity. The "Hamsa" or hand motifs scattered within the lattice are traditional symbols for warding off evil, while small crosses represent the four cardinal directions. The natural aging has enhanced the monochromatic palette, creating a sophisticated harmony between the geometric and symbolic elements.
Placement
The 9'2" x 12'5" dimensions make this rug ideal for anchoring grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master suites. The neutral palette of beige and taupe creates a versatile foundation that complements 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 known for their distinctive geometric patterns and symbolic motifs. These pieces combine tribal authenticity with refined craftsmanship, creating lasting beauty that enhances spaces for generations.
