Hamadan

There is only one rug like this one in light red and dark blue: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 90,000 knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the fine detailing. At 301 × 204 cm it works well as a large living-room rug. It shows to equally good effect in the dining room, under a table for six to eight people. Colouring and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

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 weft and warp threads of this Hamadan are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

You aren't the first to take a liking to this Hamadan. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 1950. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but only partly restored condition. In a few places you can see some white threads. That is entirely normal with older rugs. They are the knot ends of the weft and warp foundation, which work their way to the surface over the years. Structurally, this is no great problem. We have not fully restored this Hamadan because we feel it has a special presence exactly as it is. If you would prefer otherwise, we are of course happy to restore it further for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
