Hamadan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 85 × 137 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 85 × 137 cm — a Hamadan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.16 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 4.5'. 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.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
