Yalameh
Yalameh rugs are Persian tribal carpets woven in southwestern Iran, often associated with tribes near the Shiraz region. These rugs typically feature bold geometric patterns, medallions, and strong color contrasts, reflecting tribal weaving traditions similar to Qashqai work. Yalameh rugs are valued for their vibrant designs and durable construction. The village of Yalameh located southeast of Chahar Mahal, Iran and their weaving is made with motifs and techniques that are derived from all the southern Persia nomadic tribes, with colors that are somehow brighter than the tribal rugs. Yalamehs are relatively finely woven and many are made in large sizes.
