Distressed Vintage Persian Malayer Rug

9'9" x 12'9" | 297 cm x 388 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 cream, with taupe and ivory accents creating depth throughout the design.

COLORS & DETAILS

The field features a warm beige base with cream undertones throughout. Taupe accents define the patterns, while ivory highlights emerge in the medallion details.

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, producing rugs that combine geometric precision with tribal artistry. These pieces are celebrated for their intricate patterns and sophisticated color palettes, reflecting generations of artistic excellence.

Design Elements

The design showcases a distinctive diamond medallion surrounded by an all-over geometric pattern typical of Malayer weaving. The field displays a precise arrangement of floral motifs in a lattice format, reflecting the region's masterful blend of tribal and formal design elements. The main border features an architectural pattern with repeated geometric symbols, traditionally representing protection and good fortune. The natural aging process has created a sophisticated monochromatic palette that enhances the rug's refined character.

Placement

The 9'9" x 12'9" dimensions make this rug ideal for anchoring grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master suites. The serene palette of beige and cream creates an atmosphere of refined elegance, perfect for both traditional and contemporary settings.

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 prized for their exceptional craftsmanship and refined designs. These pieces combine durability with artistic sophistication, creating enduring works of art that enhance spaces for generations.
