Hamadan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 86 × 123 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Hamadan of 86 × 123 cm. That is roughly 1.06 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 4'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
