Malayer Patchwork
The Malayer Patchwork rugs get their name from Malayer, a town in the Iranian
province Hamadan. They look like patchwork quilts, as they are made by using
pieces of old, used rugs. The rugs have knot densities of 50,000 – 150,000 knots
per sqm. The pieces are sand-washed in a way that leaves the original pattern
barely visible. The pieces are then sewn together in new, interesting patterns. With
the Malayer Patchwork Collection, you get more than a rug; you adorn your home
with a unique piece of antique, Persian handicraft. This gives the rugs new life and
a chance to bring their magic into your home.
