Vintage handwoven Hamadan oriental rug, Middle East, 1960s.

This hand-woven oriental Hamadan rug was made in Iran during the 1960s. Traditionally woven flat and dyed using naturally derived dyes, the rug features an original pattern inspired by the traditional rugs of the Fars or Lori regions. Its vibrant colours—dominant shades of red, navy blue, orange, and white—delight the eye. The rich geometric composition with leaf and rosette motifs makes it unique and eye-catching. This rug is perfect for boho, vintage, ethno, or modern interiors as a pop of colour. It can serve both functional and decorative purposes, for example, as a wall decoration. Hamadan rugs are traditionally hand-woven rugs from the Hamadan region in western Iran. This region is one of the oldest centres of rug weaving in the world and encompasses numerous villages and towns, each with its own unique patterns and styles. The various types of rugs produced in Iran are most often named after the regions and towns where they are produced, such as Hamadan, Kerman, or Shiraz, or after the nomadic tribes involved in their production. They most often feature central medallions, geometric motifs, and floral motifs. These patterns are usually symmetrical. Some elements are more abstract, while others are inspired by traditional Persian motifs. Typical colours used in Hamadan rugs include reds, navy blues, shades of blue, brown, beige, and ivory. The colours are usually vibrant and intense, obtained from natural plant and mineral dyes. The rugs are hand-woven from wool, often on a cotton warp, making them durable and resistant to wear. These rugs typically have a medium knot density, giving them a solid structure. The asymmetrical Persian knot is often used, allowing for greater precision and detail in the pattern. The rug is in original vintage condition. It has signs of wear due to age, fabric loss, abrasions, and damage to the fleece. The rug will be professionally cleaned and ready for use before shipping.
