With roots in central-west Iran, Jozan Rugs reflect a blend of Malayer weaving tradition and distinct local character. These carpets are immediately recognisable for their structured use of medallion field patterns, often balanced by intricate Herati design motifs that add depth and rhythm to their overall appearance. The weaving workshops of the Jozan district have developed a reputation for consistent craftsmanship, producing pieces that stand apart from the broader range of Malayer carpets through both their technical execution and pattern clarity.
The quality of materials also sets Jozan carpets apart, with many examples featuring a dense, high-quality wool pile. Artisans in this region favour weaving techniques that result in a handle well-suited to domestic settings, making handmade Jozan rugs both durable and visually appealing for UK interiors. Their measured approach to motif placement and colour, rooted in local heritage, allows these rugs to adapt easily to both contemporary and traditional room schemes without overwhelming the space.
While Jozan and Malayer weavings share certain regional aesthetics, the individuality of the Jozan Malayer rug is evident in the refinement of design and the subtle calibration of tones. This collection offers a thoughtful introduction to a historic weaving centre that continues to influence the evolution of handmade rug artistry. Each piece is a testament to enduring methods, cultural continuity, and a focused interpretation of established motifs.
