Hamadan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 364 × 263 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 364 × 263 cm — a Hamadan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 9.57 m² of floor, about 11.9' × 8.6'. 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 approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 26 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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 and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
