3.5x4.5 Vintage Murat Square Rug

Sunlit geometry, softly underfoot

Saffron ground, serrated borders, and rows of hourglass motifs—an intimate square that turns morning light into a warm conversation.

A square of memory

Murat in the morning

Vintage color, close scale

Small rooms and in-between spaces rarely deserve an afterthought. The 3.5x4.5 Vintage Murat Square Rug brings proportioned warmth where a runner feels wrong and a large rectangle overwhelms. Its saffron field and sapphire, cherry, and ivory patterning create a grounded focal point without crowding the room.

Warmth that gathers people

At 3'6" x 4'8", it slips beside a reading chair, anchors a breakfast nook, or greets bare feet at the bedside. Like-new with full, even pile and secured sides and ends, it arrives recently professionally cleaned—ready for daily life. Hand knotted in Morocco, circa 1960s, it carries the quiet confidence of something made to last and to be seen.

For the room that needs a point of view

A collector who favors vintage Moroccan character in a compact footprint and seeks ready-to-place condition.

Where it lives

Set it beneath a small café table or reading chair to frame a sunny corner and add color to the daily ritual.
