Hand-knotted in one of the most important cities in the history of rug weaving, this unique Persian Hamadan rug brings the beauty of Middle Eastern culture to your home.
Hamadan is not only one of the oldest cities in Iran, it is also one of civilization's most ancient urban centers. Its origin dates back to several centuries before Christ. In the Hamadan area, 1500 villages specialize in their own designs, creating over 3000 variations. The rug designs are similar in layout, but each design has special characteristics that distinguish it. This is a major industry in the city of Hamadan and the only source of income for thousands of families. Hamadan's rugs are constructed to last a long time. The rug owes its durability to the luxurious looking, yet rugged pile, hand-spun from the wool of hardy sheep raised at high mountain altitudes and cool climate. This rug features rich tones in brown, dark blue, peach, red, black, plum and olive.
Slight variation in the color, design and size in each piece is normal in handmade rugs. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly.
