Malayer is a small village that is located in Northwestern Persia. It is near the major weaving centers of Sarouk and Hamadan. Rugs produced in this area were usually smaller examples and runners, such as this one. They were typically produced by individual weavers or entire families in the case of larger ones. The weavers learn the traditional patterns and motifs by song, memorization, and poetry. The weaver builds a repertoire over time. The larger the number of motifs and patterns that can be found in the rug, the more skilled were the hands that created it.

This beautiful rug shows a wide range of designs. The complex borders have intricate details that can only be produced by using a fine weave with a high knot count. The range of colors is also of note. Among the rugs produced in Malayer, this rug has a broad array of colors and patterns. It is of high quality and shows the artistry that only comes from years of practice.

The richness of the colors and motifs in Malayer rugs is one of the reasons why they frequently find their way into the hands of collectors. The pile of Malayer carpets is typically cut short to show off the fine details of the design. This rug is an excellent example of this type of rug, and it is also a versatile piece.

The range of colors in this antique rug makes it the perfect design inspiration for the colors in the rest of the room.
