Hamadan Persian Rug 130 × 260 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Hamadan from Iran, measuring 130 × 260 cm. The covered area is about 3.38 m² (4.3' × 8.5'). Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
