Product description
This hand-woven Oriental Hamadan rug was made in Iran during the 1960s. It is a flat-woven carpet, crafted using traditional techniques. This rug is dyed in shades of rustic red, pink, and purple, featuring a prominently accentuated single medallion positioned centrally.
This Hamadan hand-knotted Oriental rug was made in Iran during the 1960s. Traditionally flatwoven and dyed in shades of rustic red and indigo blue, Hamadan rugs are traditionally hand-knotted in the Hamadan region of western Iran. This region is one of the oldest centers of rug weaving globally and includes many villages and towns, each with its unique patterns and styles. The different types of rugs made in Iran are often named after the regions and towns where they are produced, such as Hamadan, Kerman, or Shiraz, or after the nomadic tribes that produce them. They frequently feature central medallions, geometric motifs, and floral designs, usually symmetrical. Some elements are more abstract, while others draw inspiration from traditional Persian motifs.
Typical colors used in Hamadan rugs include reds, navy blues, shades of blue, brown, beige, and ivory. The colors are usually vivid and intense, obtained from natural plant and mineral dyes. These rugs are hand-woven from wool, often on a cotton warp, making them durable and resistant to wear. They typically have a medium knot density, providing them with a solid structure. The asymmetric Persian knot is often used, allowing for greater precision and detail in the pattern.
Hamadan rugs combine traditional craftsmanship with functionality, serving as both beautiful decorative elements and practical additions to interiors. They testify to the rich history and culture of their region. Hamadan rugs are popular both locally and internationally, appreciated for their durability, aesthetics, and variety of designs. The traditional art of weaving Persian rugs is a national cultural heritage of Iran. In 2010, the art of weaving rugs from Fars and Kashan was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. They are often chosen for both traditional and modern interiors.
