Description
Malayer rugs are known for their high-quality craftsmanship and intricate designs.
Here is some information about Malayer rugs:
Construction and Materials: Malayer rugs typically have a cotton foundation and a wool pile. The use of a cotton foundation provides stability and durability to the rug, while the wool pile adds softness and comfort underfoot. The rugs are tightly woven, resulting in a dense and sturdy structure.
Knotting Technique: Malayer rugs are woven using the Turkish (symmetric) knotting technique. This technique involves looping the yarn around two warp threads and then cutting it, creating a knot that is symmetrical and tightly secured. The Turkish knot is known for its strength and ability to withstand wear and tear.
Colors and Designs: Malayer rugs often feature a rich color palette. The field colors can range from deep reds, ivory, or dark blue, while lighter shades such as camel or light blue may also be used. In addition, you can find a variety of other colors like different shades of blue, brown, camel, gray, orange, and green in the borders and design elements. Dark blue or dark brown are commonly used for design outlines.
Patterns and Motifs: Malayer rugs showcase a range of design styles. They typically feature semigeometric patterns, with designs presented in either an all-over pattern or a central medallion style. The designs often incorporate motifs such as palmettes with leaves and vines, traditional elements like Boteh (paisley), Herati (fish), Shrub, and Vase, and occasionally the Tree of Life motif. Some Malayer rugs even include primitive tribal motifs, such as animals, birds, and human figures within the field.
Artistic Expression and Collectibility: Malayer rugs are highly regarded for their artistic expression and are sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts. The meticulous craftsmanship, unique designs, and rich color combinations make Malayer rugs a prized addition to any interior space.
Care Instruction
Swiftly attend to spills by gently patting them away with a pristine, snow-white sponge or cloth. For a thorough cleanse, enlist the aid of a professional cleaner. Elevate your rug's comfort and safety with a fitting rug pad, enhancing grip, softness, and resilience. Embrace the natural shedding process. Employ a vacuum with a gentle touch, opting for a beater bar-free model or adjusting it to accommodate your rug's plushness. Glide your vacuum methodically across the entirety of the rug, pivoting gracefully between sections instead of oscillating back and forth.
Note
During transit (Shipping), if the texture of the rug will be pressed and there may be some visible creases. Please note that, this is not a defect and it should be unnoticeable after a few days.
