Hamadan
Craftsmanship and timeless elegance come together in this rug in dark blue and beige. At approx. 120,000 knots per m² the workmanship is correspondingly painstaking, as you can see in the precise drawing and the finely worked details. Its 180 × 135 cm make it a rug for a bedroom or study. It shows just as well in a small living room. Colouring and texture lend any room a welcoming, exclusive note – a one-of-a-kind piece made to last for years.

Origin
Hamadan (also Hamedan) rugs are knotted in the area around the city of Hamadan in north-western Iran. Hamadan is one of the oldest cities in Persia and lies amid a well-watered fruit-growing region on the banks of the Qareh, at the foot of the Zagros foothills. Rug knotting has a centuries-old tradition in this region. Hamedan is a collective name, for village and nomad rugs from many surrounding places come onto the market in Hamedan. What is typical of rugs from the Hamadan region is that they are knotted with a single weft using the Turkish knot. That is to say, one weft thread is inserted after every row of knots. Persian rugs are normally knotted with two or three wefts.
Material
The pile of this Hamadan was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Hamadan is made of new wool.
Condition
You are not the first to take a liking to this Hamadan. It has had owners before you who valued it and lived with it. It was knotted around 1960. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. The pile has grown a little thinner over the years and has five holes as well as one damaged corner. We have not restored this Hamadan, because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course gladly restore the rug for you. Either way, this Hamadan will bring you pleasure for decades to come.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
