Description
This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Malayer is a city located in the province of Hamadan, Iran. Local village weavers in the Province of Hamadan, Iran, produce traditional patterns including allover motifs and detailed medallions, and they are also known for making very exquisite border designs.
Herat Oriental works with over 2,000 village weavers to create beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Persia and India. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
