This hand-knotted Hamadan oriental rug was also made in Iran during the 1960s. Traditionally flat-woven, it is dyed in shades of rustic red and indigo blue. Hamadan rugs are typically hand-knotted and originate from the Hamadan region in western Iran, one of the oldest centres of rug weaving in the world, comprising many villages and towns, each with its own unique patterns and styles. The various types of rugs produced in Iran are often named after the regions and towns where they are made, such as Hamadan, Kerman, or Shiraz, or after the nomadic tribes that create them. They commonly feature central medallions, geometric motifs, and floral designs, with patterns that are usually symmetrical. Some elements are more abstract, while others draw inspiration from traditional Persian motifs. Typical colours used in Hamadan rugs include reds, navy blues, various shades of blue, brown, beige, and ivory. The colours are generally vivid and intense, derived from natural plant and mineral dyes. The rug is in original vintage condition, showing signs of wear due to age, fabric loss, abrasions, and damage to the fleece. It will be professionally cleaned and ready for use before shipping.
