Malayer town and the surrounding weaving area of about 120 villages in northwest Persia constitutes its own district distinct from both Hamadan to the north and Sarouk/Arak to the south. Malayer is a prosperous market town and administrative center in one of the most fertile agricultural areas in northwest Iran. Carpet weaving has been carried on since at least the early 19th century; a carpet dated 1816 and inscribed to a local mosque is in the Toronto Museum. This and several other kellegi format pieces (gallery rugs) are in Indo-Isfahan palmette patterns on red grounds. Antique rugs from the town of Malayer adheres to this basic convention, but the weave is a little finer and the carpets less folky. The knot count runs seven horizontally by eight vertically. Gallery rugs were a Malayer specialty and the six feet by fifteen feet size is frequently encountered in antique rugs from Malayer. less
