Hamadan Herati Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 80 × 132 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Hamadan Herati from Iran, measuring 80 × 132 cm. The covered area is about 1.06 m² (2.6' × 4.3'). Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

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.
