Malayer carpets: Carpets from Malayer area constitute an important and distinctive group of persian weavings. Technically, they stand between those made in nearby Senneh and Hamedan. They were produced in a range of medallion designs which, although they come from classical persian sources, tend to be abstract or geometricized. Sometimes Malayer carpet designers can use really refined motifs, like the Herati pattern, but they can also combine elements given in a larger composition. Manufacturers prefer to use a variety of different powerful colors, such as deep red, blue and ochre combined with other supplementary ones.
