Distressed Vintage Persian Malayer Rug
9'9" x 12'8" | 296 cm x 386 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 refined palette of beige and powder blue, with taupe and ivory accents creating depth throughout the design.
COLORS & DETAILS
The field features a warm beige base with subtle powder blue accents. Taupe details emerge throughout the pattern, while ivory highlights define the geometric elements.
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 sophisticated diamond lattice pattern typical of Malayer weaving. The symmetrical arrangement of stylized floral and bird motifs reflects Persian tribal artistry, where birds traditionally symbolize good fortune and freedom. The main border features a series of geometric medallions interspersed with floral elements, representing protection and abundance. The natural aging process has created a refined monochromatic palette that enhances the rug's elegant tribal character.
Placement
The 9'9" x 12'8" dimensions make this rug ideal for anchoring grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master suites. The serene palette of beige and powder blue 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.
