Mazlaghan is a rug made in the northern province of Iran known as Zanjan, which means 'dear wife'. It produces many beautiful Persian tribal rugs, which are all handmade by nomadic Persian tribes living in the north. The colors of these rugs are usually very bright and lively. The quality is very good and the rugs have proved to last a long time. An authentic Mazlaghan Persian rug is an ideal way to add something exotic to a room, which could use some flavor.
