Hand-Knotted Hamadan Persian Rug, 333 × 410 cm, Wool

Overview

A Hamadan from Iran, measuring 333 × 410 cm. That is roughly 13.65 m² of floor, about 10.9' × 13.5'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

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.
