Hand-Knotted Wool Hamadan Persian Rug, 155 × 285 cm

Overview

A Hamadan from Iran, measuring 155 × 285 cm. The covered area is about 4.42 m² (5.1' × 9.4'). Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

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.
