Woven by skilled artisans, it showcases the bold geometry and rich color saturation that make Yalameh rugs highly sought after. Its large decorative size makes it ideal for anchoring a living room, dining area, or study with character and warmth.
Design and Motifs
The field features a dramatic navy blue ground framed by vivid brick red corners. A vertical chain of three geometric medallions runs through the center, each outlined with ivory serrated edges and filled with intricate tribal symbols. Surrounding the medallions are stylized floral motifs, small blossoms, angular vine work, and traditional tribal elements arranged in balanced symmetry. The overall composition reflects nomadic precision and expressive design.
Border and Framing
The main border displays classic Yalameh tribal animal motifs rendered in navy, ivory, red, green, and yellow. Multiple guard borders feature zigzag patterns, rosettes, and small geometric devices that add rhythm and movement. The layered framing enhances the bold contrast between the navy field and red spandrels, creating a powerful visual structure.
Colors and Their Placement
Deep navy dominates the central field, providing a rich backdrop for the medallions and floral detailing. Brick red fills the corner spandrels and outer framing. Ivory outlines and highlights the geometric forms, while golden yellow energizes the central medallions. Accents of sky blue, forest green, burgundy, and olive green add depth and vibrancy throughout the design.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Hand knotted using high quality wool, this Yalameh rug features a durable wool foundation and tightly packed pile. The weave reflects strong tribal structure with clear knot definition and crisp geometric precision. The wool offers both resilience and a soft, natural texture underfoot.
Yalameh Rugs
Yalameh rugs are woven in Southern Persia by tribal and village weavers known for bold color palettes and geometric compositions. Their designs often combine Qashqai influences with distinctive medallion structures and stylized animal motifs, making them highly recognizable and collectible.
