A specific type of Hamadan rug, usually in a long form called a runner, is made in the nearby town of Malayer in western Iran, known for its rich historical significance and ancient rug-making traditions. The location dates back to the pre-Islamic era, and was a prominent trading hub during the reign of the Seljuk and Safavid Dynasties. The designs are often more cutting-edge, incorporating elements of both tribal and urban aesthetics, reflecting the role trade played in the evolution of rug designs in the region. Their high-quality craftsmanship, durability, and unique designs make them highly sought after by collectors, who seek out the most intricate geometric patterns. Unlike many other Persian rugs a dominant central medallion is optional, and the patterns often incorporate animal forms and even humans, reflecting the effect of trade with the Far East as well as Europe on the style. Traditional natural dyes are used to produce a range of hues, with deep blues, vibrant reds, and rich browns being particularly prevalent. Ivory and cream tones are used abundantly to create a striking contrast as well. Malayer rugs are traditionally handwoven using high-quality wool for the pile, with the wool sourced from local sheep. While many Malayer rugs are the product of individual weavers working from their homes, in the last fifty years the region has become home to several well-known workshops. These workshops often produce larger, more intricate rugs, but in small quantities. In addition to Malayer, the Hamadan province is home to several other prominent rug-producing cities, including Hamadan itself, Nahavand, Tuiserkan, and Borujerd, and sometimes these rugs are all referred to as “Hamadan” interchangeably, due to that city’s central location in the region. Nevertheless, each of these cities has its own distinct rug-making traditions, resulting in a rich tapestry of styles and designs across the region.
