Description

A really sweet small antique Hamadan rug, often referred to as a 'Pushti' this small size, which is a Turkish term for mat. Lovely natural dyes and ivory wool background which allows the other colours to shine. We particularly love the swirling S design in the border, a classical Herati pattern in the middle and beautiful colours! A charming small rug ideal for anywhere in the home.

Condition is very good, with a medium high pile and no damage. Sitting on our rug underlay this would help keep it safe on the floor too.

Hamadan is located in the west of Persia and the city was a centre for trading and weaving carpets, hundreds of villages surround Hamadan which produced various designs and qualities of rugs. They used geometric motifs or the famous Herati pattern and qualities varied. These little piece is a nice weave and done by an accomplished weaver, dating from the early 20th century.
