Hand-Knotted Hamadan Persian Rug, 86 × 123 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 86 × 123 cm — a Hamadan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.06 m² (2.8' × 4'). Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

How it reads

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.
