COLORS & DETAILS
The field features a soft beige base with powder blue accents throughout. Taupe details define the patterns, while ivory highlights enhance the geometric elements.

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.

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 pattern with tribal geometric motifs. The field is adorned with scattered floral and geometric elements, characteristic of Malayer's tribal aesthetic. The main border features an interesting series of triangular motifs and stylized flowers, traditionally symbolizing protection and fertility. The natural aging process has created a sophisticated monochromatic palette that enhances the rug's refined geometric character.

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.
