Antique Hamadan Rug
200 x 137 cm

$3,500

Hamadan is one of the oldest towns on Earth. The centre of a fertile mountainous sheep-rearing topography, it is one of the great Persian Rug regions. Hamadan houses endless history, the tombs of Esther and Mordechai etc.

The city is stretched around a star-shaped square which has preserved its beautiful style of architecture, six avenues diverge from the angles of the star. Hamadan has been developed and renovated to a great extent in recent years but there are still old neighbourhoods with nostalgic besides its large modern streets and beautiful parks.

The distinguishing feature of Hamadan rugs is the weave. It has just one thick weft per row of knots, giving an unmistakable “look” to the back. Refer “ONE WOMAN ONE WEFT” Tad Runge ISBN 0-615-12038-5.
