Distressed Vintage Persian Malayer Rug
9'9" x 12'4" | 297 cm x 377 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 teal blue, with rust and taupe accents creating depth throughout the design.
COLORS & DETAILS
The field features a warm beige base with teal blue accents, showing areas of elegant color variation and natural fading. Rust undertones emerge in places, while taupe details define the geometric patterns, with noticeable color transitions adding depth to the design.
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 an all-over diamond lattice pattern characteristic of Malayer weaving, with areas of beautiful natural discoloration that create visual interest and depth. The field presents a balanced arrangement of geometric medallions and stylized floral motifs, with varying color intensities enhancing the tribal pattern work. The main border features a series of connecting geometric elements, traditional symbols of protection and unity. The natural aging and color variations have created a sophisticated patina that adds character to the rug's refined tribal aesthetic.
Placement
The 9'9" x 12'4" dimensions make this rug ideal for anchoring grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master suites. The balanced palette of beige and teal blue creates a versatile foundation that adapts beautifully to 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.
