Persian Hamadan Rug - 2.17 x 1.35 Balouchi

Persian Hamadan Rug - 2.17 x 1.35 BalouchiHamadan was once the capital of Persia during the periods of the Seljuks and today is the catchment area for rugs from numerous towns and villages, many of which have been weaving rugs for centuries. Because Hamadan rugs are drawn from such a wide area, they can be extremely varied in design. They are hard wearing and generally of good quality. Fairly recently rugs have been made in the city of Hamadan itself. Such rugs are made with thick high

which help to emphasis the stronger colour complex  field

resulting in a texture that is both resilient and inviting

For the Qum designers have adapted or created designs in a style which are distinctively their own whilst being inspired by designs from other areas

The outer borders are charming and their style and colour are in complete harmony with the rest of the carpet

This pure silk carpet has a small central medallion that is in the shape of a flower

Meymeh rugs are authentic hand-woven Persian rugs

beautiful floral motifs
