Malayer Rugs
Antique slightly distressed Persian Malayer rug, circa 1900. A lovely antique Malayer handwoven rug with blues and an abrash in soft gray. Abrash is a natural change in color that occurs when different dyes are used in a batch of wool and gives uniqueness an extra beauty to the rug. Lightly distressed with low pile that adds to the patina and beauty of this rug.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
