Vintage Persian Hamadan Rug – 4'3" x 6'7"
This beautiful handmade rug comes from the Hamadan region of western Iran — an area with a long-standing weaving tradition dating back centuries. Woven entirely by hand, this 4'3" x 6'7" Persian Hamadan is rich in history, charm, and classic village artistry.
🧶 Material & Craftsmanship:
Made with handspun wool on a cotton foundation, this rug is woven in a durable single-wefted weave—a signature of Hamadan rugs. The pile is soft yet strong, making it perfect for everyday use. The tight weave and visible weft threads on the back suggest a knot density around 120–160 KPSI, characteristic of vintage tribal work from this region.
🎨 Design & Colors:
This rug features an all-over floral pattern in a classic medallion layout. Its deep crimson red field is adorned with stylized blossoms, rosettes, and scrolling vines rendered in earthy tones of olive, cream, soft yellow, navy, and blush. The colors are derived from natural vegetable dyes, which have gracefully matured over time, giving the rug a glowing, slightly aged patina.
📍 Origin & Heritage:
Hamadan is not just one city — it's a hub representing over 1,500 surrounding villages, each with its own design dialect. Rugs from this area often carry tribal or semi-nomadic character, and this piece is no exception. It’s likely woven between the 1950s and 1970s by local village weavers, and it speaks of tradition, pride, and resilience.
⏳ Why It’s Special:
This is the kind of rug that brings both warmth and story into a home. Unlike mass-produced pieces, every motif and color shift in this Hamadan rug was decided by the weaver’s hand and heart. It's a rug that has already stood the test of time — and it’s ready for many more years in your space.
