5345 · 4'1" x 8'8" Persian Hamedan Area Rug

Stepped diamonds holding eight-pointed stars fill the deep red field of this delightful rug. Deep red covers the entire field, where a chain of stepped diamonds is outlined in near-black, olive and brown. Each diamond holds a gorgeous eight-pointed star in near-black on a brighter red ground. Slate blue stars sit in the red spaces between the large shapes. The main border is rust red, carrying small leaf forms in dark brown, cream and blue-gray. A zigzag guard stripe in cream, brown and blue-gray edges the field on both sides. The pile is full over the face of the rug. It suits a room that needs warmth, as the near-black drawing keeps the deep red from looking too bright. At 4'1" by 8'8", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.

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.
