Malayer Rugs
Lovely colors of taupe/burnt orange/soft blues. Antique rugs from Malayer, east of Hamadan, could be considered top quality Hamadan’s and they share similar structural aspects. Although seemingly urban, virtually every Malayer contains village touches: birds, animals, people or random geometric elements. This makes them playful and unexpected.
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.
