Hamadan Herati Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 113 × 160 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Hamadan Herati of 113 × 160 cm. That is roughly 1.81 m² of floor, about 3.7' × 5.2'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

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

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.

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.
