FAQs

Malayer rugs are traditional handknotted floor coverings originating from the West-Central region of Iran, known for combining geometric village designs with sophisticated Persian workshop influences.

These carpets are traditionally constructed with a wool pile handknotted onto a cotton or wool foundation, utilising natural vegetable dyes for coloration.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, natural dye variations, hand-finished selvedges, and knot density visible on the reverse side.

An antique runner adds texture and warmth when placed in transitional spaces like hallways or kitchens, contrasting effectively against minimalist architectural backdrops.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent friction.
