MALAYER is located northwest of Arak, about 90 km (56 Miles) southeast of Hamadan, and around 400 km(249 Miles) southwest of Tehran. It is a small town that lies among cities such as Nahavand, Touserkan, and Beronjerd. Though, small in size, Malayer has a great capacity to manufacture nice tribal rugs and carpets. Although it is a very old city (formerly called Dowlatabad), the present city was built-in the early Qajar period. From the commercial point of view, it is significant for its location on the way to Khuzestan (province in southeast Iran). There are some caves, such as Darreh Farakh and Sardkouh, as well as the remains of old forts around this city. Malayer has urban and medical facilities as well as guesthouses and parks. Because of its mild climate, it is a land of grape production, as well.
Some interesting historical sites within Malayer are as follows:
• Nushijan Hill
• Baba Hussein's Crypt
The exterior of Baba Hussein's crypt is very simple in detail yet it bears as a structure with a definitive brickwork built with precision. This is noticeable especially on the dome. The style of architecture indicates that it was built in the 7th to the 9th centuries. It is located 50 km(32 Miles) southwest of Malayer. The interior holds a number of symmetrical frames that start from the floor and reach the under part of the dome. It is assumed that these frames serve as decoration and as a means to reduce stress on the walls. The main height of the structure was 15.90 m, of which 7 meters is left. The ceiling of the structure is two-layered. Malayer rugs and carpets usually have semi-nomadic patterns with geometric and/or tribal figures. Usually decorated with small motifs, the most popular designs on Malayer rugs are the all-over Boteh, all-over Herati, and diamond or hexagon-shaped medallions that are vertically connected. Boteh and Herati may be featured together on a Malayer rug with a medallion filled with Herati and the background filled with Boteh, or even vice versa. Furthermore in relevancy to a Malayer's design, a rug or carpet piece can generally be featured with a detailed medallion in shades of red lying on the central field of the rug . These rugs and carpets are of a differing quality; some ranging from good and others to poor quality. Malayer rugs and carpets come in different sizes, but the majority of them are mid-sized ranging with dimensions of 4x6 to 8x10 feet. All colors come from vegetable-dyes in which red is the most predominant color used in Malayer pieces while on rarity blues, greens, and beiges can be seen on older pieces. They are made of wool from course to fine in texture and are comprised of a thin, tight pile. The warp is mostly cotton; the weft is either cotton or wool. Craftsmen favor a single-weft, "Senneh Baft," or "Hamadan" weave in which they produce using Turkish knots. In conclusion, Malayer rugs and carpets represent a very diversified look in which they can be utilized as a decorative means for a classical or contemporary yearning. The colors will definitely brighten a room and create a sense of internal calm in one's home.

The Persian rug is a tradition
that has survived for a period of over 2500 years. Each Persian
rug is a new flower blossoming from one of the biggest
branches of an ancient and colorful yet damaged tree which is
the Persian culture . Persian people are very tradition oriented
and this characteristic can be seen in the way they make their
rugs . Each village or city in Iran has an ancient and
traditional rug pattern that has been maintained in that region
for centuries and sometimes millenniums. The distinct designs of
each city are particular to that city alone and although famous
designs have been imitated elsewhere in the country a few times
, they have never been duplicated. Iran is also the place where
many other styles of rugs are made, such as Turkish, Caucasian,
Armenian, Kazak, Afghanistan & India. The
Persian rug is a big chapter in the book of Iran's culture
because it visually shows the biggest obsessions in Persian
culture, which are the beauty of nature, literature, and true
love. These are what make the Persian rug on
of the most prestigious things to be placed in any home. |

KPSI: ( knot per Square inch ) the number of knots per linear
inch along the warp and
the weft tell us what is the KPSI in one rug. You multiply both
numbers on the warp and the weft from back of the carpet. For
example 10 knots along the warp and 12 knots along the weft would
give a KPSI of 120. RAJ is the number of knots on warp or weft
per 7 linear centimeter. Persian rugs usually count with RAJ
instead of KPSI. But for your convenience we use KPSI
here. keep in mind higher KPSI does not necessarily
mean a better quality rug. the number of kpsi is only depended on
technique of the weave. |

Described rug condition is based upon the age of the rug.
Perfect and excellent condition does not necessarily mean a full pile as in a
brand new rug. In an older rug, it can mean not showing the
foundation and having some pile. And also, keep in mind that some types of rugs
don't have a thick pile even when they are brand new.
