Maymeh rugs are authentic hand-woven Persian rugs, made in the district of Maymeh, which is near Isfahan in central Iran. The designs are similar to Qashqai or other tribal rugs. They usually have a main diamond medallion, embedded within another medallion, embedded within another one and so on for few times. The main color is usually a rich burgundy accented with many blues, green and ivories. The quality is perhaps one of the highest among the tribal family of rugs. It is very densely knotted and will last a long time. An authentic Maymeh Persian rug is an intelligent way to greatly enhance the decor of any room.[citation needed]
