Hand-Knotted Wool Hamadan Herati Persian Rug, 133 × 500 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 133 × 500 cm — a Hamadan Herati made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 6.65 m² (4.4' × 16.4'). 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 7-10mm.

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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