FAQs

A Hamadan rug is a type of hand-woven Persian carpet crafted in and around the historic city of Hamadan in western Iran. These rugs are renowned for their durable single-weft construction, rich colour palettes, and varied geometric or floral medallion designs.

Hamadan carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a sturdy cotton or wool warp foundation. They typically feature symmetrical Ghiordes knots with a single-weft weave, creating a thick, hard-wearing pile suitable for high-traffic areas.

Authentic pieces are identified by their flexible yet dense weave, hand-dyed wool showing natural colour variations or abrash, and a single-weft construction visible from the reverse side. The patterns frequently feature a central diamond medallion surrounded by detailed Herati or floral field motifs.

A traditional woven carpet introduces texture, pattern, and depth when layered over neutral hardwood floors. Placing a pattern-rich rug alongside sleek, contemporary furniture creates visual contrast and grounds the seating arrangement.

Preserve wool carpets by vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar. Address liquid spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth, and schedule professional hand-washing every few years to clear deep-set debris.
