Overview
A classic hand-knotted Persian Hamadan area rug featuring a central geometric medallion set against a dense Herati-patterned field. The vibrant salmon, deep indigo, and terracotta tones are framed by a multi-layered geometric border, showcasing the robust, rustic charm characteristic of village weaving traditions.
Story
Woven in the ancient highlands of Persia, this rug was crafted by village weavers using locally sourced wool. Each geometric motif tells a story of nomadic heritage, designed to bring warmth and protection to a family home.
Maker / Origin
Rather than a single factory, this rug is the product of the Hamadan weaving collective, a vast network of hundreds of villages in western Iran. Each village and family passed down their own distinct variations of geometric designs, making every single rug a unique, un-templated piece of folk art.
Condition & Value
The rug shows gentle, even wear consistent with age, with the pile remaining relatively thick. The fringe ends show some minor wear and unraveling, which is common for vintage rugs but should be secured to prevent further loss. This typical wear does not significantly hurt the value but adds authentic vintage character.
