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.
