'''Mazlaghan''' is a village located in the '''Hamadan''' Province of western Iran. The rugs are known in the antique market from the early twentieth century. Mazlaghan rugs are categorized as one of the [[Hamadan Rug|Hamadan]] [[Mosul Rug|MOSUL]] RUGS. Mosul rugs were successfully marketed worldwide as an inexpensive alternative to Caucasian and Anatolian rugs. As of the late twentieth century, Mazlaghan weavers continued to use the traditional open-field designs but with more design elements in the background. Some weavers switched from traditional designs and made rugs and carpets similar to neighboring areas in accordance with foreign export and domestic consumer demand. Early Mazlaghan rugs can have a value up to $5,000.
