Persian Hamadan

£475£575In stock, ready to ship

A beautifully detailed Persian Hamadan hand-knotted in western Iran — a lively, expressive piece that goes beyond purely geometric design to include charming pictorial touches throughout. Woven with luxuriously soft fine wool pile on a firm, reliable cotton foundation, it feels rich and resilient underfoot, built to hold its shape and beauty for generations. At the heart of the rug sits an elegant multi-layered floral medallion in shades of sky blue, ivory, and gold, set against a glowing coral and madder red field. Delicately woven birds and stylised animal figures appear in the corners and along the field — a treasured feature of village Hamadan weaving that brings warmth and character. The broad border is a masterpiece of colour and detail, flowing with sage green, deep navy, blush pink, and terracotta, framing the central design with exceptional depth. At 157 × 107 cm, this is a wonderfully versatile accent size — perfect beside a bed, in a study, hallway, or as a colourful focal point in a smaller living room. The rich, varied palette complements both traditional and eclectic modern interiors — a genuine hand-knotted Persian piece with lively charm and enduring quality.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 140 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 359,895 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 4 months.

How that is worked out: 61 in × 42 in × 140 knots per sq. in. ≈ 359,895 — that is 155 × 107 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
