ABOUT PRODUCTID 11055
This handwoven rug from the Hamadan region in northwestern Iran exemplifies Persian craftsmanship from the early 20th century. Made with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, it measures 118 by 245 cm including fringes. The design features a repetitive, geometric grid of stylized floral and leaf motifs, framed by a richly decorated border with patterns in shades of orange, indigo, red, and blue. The characteristic abrash effect—natural color variations, especially between blue and beige sections—highlights the rug’s authenticity and uniqueness. The surface is matte with noticeable pile wear, particularly in the center, and the natural fringes show some fraying. The overall condition is good for its age, with visible wear, minor abrasions, and patina, but no major damage or repairs. This rug tells the story of Hamadan, one of the world's oldest cities, where weaving traditions date back to biblical Ecbatana. The warm, slightly faded indigo, muted terracotta, creams, beiges, and subtle accents of yellow and dark brown evoke the rural Persian landscape, each thread bearing traces of daily life and local customs. The tactile floral motifs recall the cycles of nature, while the worn pile and gentle patina record decades of domestic rhythm and use. The Hamadan rug can be
