Hamadan Persian Rug 150 × 104 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Hamadan of 150 × 104 cm. The covered area is about 1.56 m² (4.9' × 3.4'). Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as Handgesponnene Wolle, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is red and orange. 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. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
