Hand-Knotted Wool Hamadan Persian Rug, 220 × 320 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 220 × 320 cm — a Hamadan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 7.04 m² (7.2' × 10.5'). Hamadan rugs are typically sturdy and geometrically patterned.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

On the knot count

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

Colour and appearance

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.
