Hand‑knotted across hundreds of villages surrounding the city of Hamadan in north‑western Iran, these rugs stand out for their bold village proportions, lustrous hand‑spun highland wool, and hallmark single‑weft construction on a firm cotton foundation that keeps them flexible yet exceptionally durable. Natural dyes derived from madder root, indigo, and walnut husks yield enduring brick reds, deep indigos, and warm creams. With a medium/high pile and robust weave, Hamadan rugs excel in high‑traffic living rooms, welcoming foyers, and layered eclectic interiors where authentic tribal character is desired.
