Hamadan Persian Rug 306 × 98 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Hamadan from Iran, measuring 306 × 98 cm. That is roughly 3 m² of floor, about 10' × 3.2'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
