Malayer Rugs Example with Video

Malayer Rugs are single weft construction. If it looks like a Malayer but has two wefts then think Jozan. As you can see in the image below thick cotton wefts with very little twist are common.

It is unusual to see an antique Malayer with it's end finishes. Here we see a skirt in balanced plain weave with a remnant of a twining decorative stripe..
