These hand-knotted rugs have their name from Malayer, a town in the Iranian province Hamadan. They look like patchwork quilts, as they are made by using pieces of old, used rugs. The pieces are sand-washed in a way that leaves the original pattern barely visible. This gives the antique rugs new life and a completely new quality. With a Persian Malayer, you don’t just get a high-quality rug – you decorate your home with a piece of ancient Persian handicraft.
