Yalameh

Yalameh rugs are a type of Persian rug originating primarily from the village of Aliabad in the Fars province of southern Iran. Formerly known as Shekarlu rugs, Yalameh rugs gained popularity in the 1960s and 70s as a more readily available alternative to the increasingly rare Shekarlu rugs. Yalameh rugs feature a wide array of colors, with a particular emphasis on blues, and exhibit a regularity of weave and design not typically found in traditional tribal rugs. These rugs are handwoven with high-quality wool, creating a durable and long-lasting product. Yalameh rugs typically feature intricate geometric patterns, including diamond-shaped medallions and repeated geometric motifs. The use of bold colors such as red, blue, and orange is common in Yalameh rugs, adding to their striking and vibrant appearance.

One of the distinguishing features of Yalameh rugs is their unique design, which incorporates both traditional and modern elements. The weavers of Yalameh rugs are known for their creativity and innovation, often blending ancient Persian rug-making techniques with contemporary designs to create a unique and distinctive product.

In addition to their beautiful appearance, Yalameh rugs also have practical benefits. The thick, woolen fibers used in their construction make them excellent insulators, keeping homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for busy households.

Yalameh rugs are highly sought after by collectors and decorators alike for their exceptional quality and distinctive designs. The designs are unique and often depict the emotions and feelings of the weaver through the use of primitive yet intricate motifs. Whether used as a statement piece or as part of a more eclectic interior design scheme, a Yalameh rug is a timeless addition to any home.
