Malayer is a small village that is located in Northwestern Persia. It is near the major weaving centers of Sarouk and Hamedan. The captivating Persian rugs produced in this area were usually smaller examples and runners, such as this magnificent piece. These facinating antique rugs were typically produced by individual weavers or entire families in the case of larger ones. The weavers of these iconic area rugs learn the traditional patterns and motifs by song, memorization and poetry. The weaver builds a repertoire over time and as a result, the larger the number of unique and varied motifs and patterns, the more skilled were the hands that created it.

Tribal rugs like this one show a range of designs and patterns. These facinating motifs are showcased so beautifully against the grey blue abrash rug color variation in the main field.
