Hamadan Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

I have always liked Hamadan rugs, they are affordable, robust and pleasing pieces. This one has something else about it, the quality of the colours and wool make me think it is an earlier example. The tone of the madder red alone moves me, when you see it in contrast to the deep blue of the slightly wonky central medallion it comes alive. The drawing of sprays of flowers and leaves have an archaic look, again they sit well on the soft red ground. The general tone of the whole piece is mellow but never dull. A very decorative rug with a great look and undoubtedly one of the best Hamadan rugs I have owned.

Fair condition. Some white cotton warp knots are showing through the pile, a few in a cluster near the centre. A little old moth damage but in general this is a tidy piece.

FAQs

Hamadan rugs originate from the city of Hamadan and its surrounding villages in western Iran, one of the oldest rug-weaving regions in the world. These rugs were traditionally crafted by village and tribal weavers using localized weaving techniques passed down through generations.

Traditional Hamadan rugs are hand-knotted using local wool yarn for the pile woven onto a durable cotton foundation warp and weft. Natural vegetable dyes were historically employed to produce primary shades of red, indigo blue, and cream.

Authentic Hamadan rugs are characterized by a single-weft construction technique between rows of symmetrical Ghiordes knots. They frequently display a central geometric or medallion pattern, a thick durable wool pile, and a firm cotton back.

A Persian rug can be styled as a focal point in a contemporary room by pairing its rich pattern with neutral upholstery and simple wooden furniture. The contrasting geometric shapes and deep tones ground minimal or traditional room layouts.

Maintain a hand-knotted wool rug by vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting to prevent pile pulling. Rotate the rug annually to balance foot traffic and light exposure, and address spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
