About this rug

A cream and light blue medallion glows at the heart of this lovely rug. Within a deep red field, graceful sprays of pink, light blue and cream blossoms branch out all around. The medallion is a lobed diamond, cream around a light blue and pink core with a small rosette at its center. A small pendant sits above and below it, each leading to a vase of flowers. Handsome spandrels in light blue and pink fill the four corners, each holding a cluster of flowers. The main border has a near-black ground, carrying rosettes and flower sprays in pink, red and light blue. Guard stripes run on both sides, including a red stripe with a wavy blue vine and cream stripes of tiny flowers. The pile is low across the rug, and the design reads clear throughout. It brings warm red and cool light blue into a room. At 7' by 10', it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.

About Hamedan rugs

In the 5th century BCE the Greek historian Herodotus described Ecbatana, the ancient city under Hamedan, as ringed by seven concentric walls. Many village rugs from around Hamedan went to market through Mosul several generations ago, which is why they were called Mosul rugs. Hamedan is a weaving city and region in western Persia, and for generations hundreds of villages around it have sent rugs to its markets. This rug carries a lobed medallion on a deep red field, with light blue and pink corners closing it in. The flowers of the field are scattered loosely around the medallion, so the red ground shows clearly between them. Its near-black border is wide and full of flowers, and the stripes on either side add red, cream and blue.

The Craft

Made entirely by hand.

Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
