Meymeh is a town in the Isfahan Province of central Iran, located on the road between KASHAN and ISFAHAN near the city of JOSHEGHAN. Meymeh rugs and carpets are known in the market from the first quarter of the twentieth century. By the late twentieth century, some Meymeh weavers switched from traditional designs to make carpets similar to the weavings of other neighboring areas in accordance with domestic and foreign export demand. These carpets may be sold by origin of design and color commissioned rather than the weaving location.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.386</ref>
