This 3’4” x 5’ hand-knotted Hamadan Persian rug is a classic example of traditional craftsmanship from the Hamadan region of Iran. Woven entirely from wool, the rug features a dense pile that is both durable and naturally soft underfoot. Its intricate design consists of a bold central medallion surrounded by geometric and floral motifs, a hallmark of Hamadan weaving, which often draws inspiration from the rural landscapes and village artistry of the area.
The deep blue background frames a series of vibrant red and ivory accents, creating a striking visual contrast that highlights the rug’s handmade details. The borders are filled with repeating geometric patterns, providing balance to the central medallion and enhancing the symmetry of the overall composition. This color palette is typical of Hamadan rugs, where natural vegetable dyes are used to achieve rich, long-lasting tones that age beautifully over time.
As a 3x5 handmade carpet, this piece is ideal for smaller spaces such as entryways, hallways, or by a reading nook, where its patterns can be fully appreciated. Each knot represents hours of meticulous work, making the rug not just a functional floor covering but a piece of cultural heritage. Collectors and enthusiasts value Hamadan rugs for their combination of durability, authentic craftsmanship, and their ability to bring warmth and elegance to any interior setting.
