The piece in short

This Hamadan comes from Iran and measures 200 × 135 cm. It covers approximately 2.7 m², or 6.6' × 4.4'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count
