Code 8499 Persian Hamadan 251x149cm Hand knotted

Hamadan rugs are a true Persian treasure, embodying the artistry and expertise of the skilled weavers in Iran’s Hamadan region. These rugs are known for their durability and striking aesthetic, often featuring the iconic elongated Shirvan design—a bold, geometric central medallion that draws the eye and creates a balanced, harmonious composition. The Shirvan design, like many motifs in Persian rug-making, is deeply rooted in the culture and heritage of the region, often reflecting the local artisans’ connection to tradition, nature, and Persian art.

The Hamadan rug’s primary colors, vibrant reds and deep blues, are achieved through natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and other organic sources. The skillful use of these natural dyes not only gives each rug its unique color palette but also ensures the colors retain their richness and depth over time. The wool used is soft, fine lamb’s wool, contributing to a lush, tactile quality that enhances the rug’s warmth and appeal. The wool’s softness, combined with the rug’s robust construction, makes it both beautiful and enduring, ideal for high-traffic areas in the home.

Hand-knotted entirely by master weavers, Hamadan rugs showcase the remarkable expertise passed down through generations. These artisans employ traditional knotting techniques that add to the rug’s strength, producing pieces that are as sturdy as they are artistic. Owning a Hamadan rug with a Shirvan design is not only an investment in Persian craftsmanship but also a way to bring a piece of cultural heritage into one’s living space. Each rug is a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of Persian artistry, making it a cherished heirloom and a celebration of Persian culture.
