Hand-Knotted Wool Hamadan Persian Rug, 207 × 308 cm

The piece in short

A Hamadan from Iran, measuring 207 × 308 cm. That is roughly 6.38 m² of floor, about 6.8' × 10.1'. Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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

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.

On the colourway

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.
