Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
This vibrant vintage Persian Yalameh rug from Southwestern Persia is a striking example of mid-century tribal weaving rooted in the traditions of the Qashqai and Luri nomads. Woven near the city of Shiraz, this hand-knotted piece features an allover geometric design composed of two columns of interconnected latch-hook medallions. The French blue field beautifully contrasts with vivid accents in red, yellow, and ivory, creating a lively yet balanced tribal aesthetic.
Yalameh rugs are admired for their fine weave, clarity of pattern, and jewel-tone color palette. While sharing stylistic lineage with Qashqai weavings, they stand apart through their precision and chromatic brilliance.
