1605 · 4'3" x 10'2" Persian Hamedan Area Rug

This lovely rug carries large flower heads and buds in red, cream and pink in its main border. A handsome herati lattice in green, navy and cream, the fish-and-leaf design, fills the deep red field. A cream floral medallion with a red rosette core sits inside a long pointed hexagon with a sawtooth edge. Cream corner pieces of red and blue blossoms fill the spaces outside it. The main border has a very dark burgundy ground and carries large flower heads and buds in red, cream and pink. A brown guard stripe of small rosettes and a fine dotted line run inside it. Wear shows at the lower end and in parts of the cream corners; elsewhere the pile is mostly full. It anchors a hall with strong red and a dark frame, and the cream medallion lifts the middle of the length. At 4'3" by 10'2", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
