Wool Hamadan Persian Rug 196 × 123 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 196 × 123 cm — a Hamadan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.41 m² of floor, about 6.4' × 4'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
