Los Angeles Home of Rugs on Dec 7th 2021
In the city of Malayer, rug weaving is very popular and has a good market. The design, especially the older ones, which are very common in Malayer, is similar to those made in the Arak region, such as Saruk and Farahan. Some rugs of this region are famous by the name of 'Amani-baft', which has the same design as the Caucasian rugs.
The ancestor of these weavers had emigrated from Caucasian and Armenia in the 17th century. Therefore, all the rugs are woven in Malayer, and its surrounding villages are in stylized patterns, mostly in medallion and Harati design. The sizes often demanded are a wide and long runner and Sajjadeh or Do-Zar.
