Hamadan rug, early 20th century

Measurements: 202cm x 152cm (6’8 x 5’)

72 Knots per inch

Price: £580

A larger than average Hamadan rug with a decorative allover design. It seems that these rugs with a repeated allover design are in vogue in comparison to the typical oriental rug with central medallions, certainly the larger Heriz carpets with this design outperform the medallion examples.
These cotton foundation rugs lie flat and are hard wearing. The central field is covered in stylised flowers and serrated leaves arranged in a complex lattice that slips under the four pink spandrels. This is an attractive rug which could be used in any setting.
