Hand-Knotted Wool Hamadan Herati Persian Rug, 88 × 133 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 88 × 133 cm — a Hamadan Herati made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.17 m² of floor, about 2.9' × 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. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Knot density and quality

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

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
