This enchanting small accent rug hails from the storied weaving region of Hamadan, situated in the heart of Western Iran—renowned for its centuries-old tradition of producing richly colored, durable rugs. It is expertly hand-knotted with vegetable-dyed wool on a sturdy cotton foundation, ensuring both authenticity and longevity.
At first glance, its vibrant red field draws you in, showcasing a cute medallion-and-corner layout accented by beige and gray tones. Within this design, you’ll find charming fish (mahi) motifs, sometimes referred to as the Herati pattern, which lend a delightful sense of movement and harmony across the surface.

Its compact size also makes it an excellent choice for adding warmth to a bathroom, nursery, or kitchen. If you are seeking a unique decorative accent, this vintage Persian Hamadan rug promises to infuse your space with a burst of color, timeless artistry, and the unmistakable charm of Iran’s storied weaving tradition.
Please Consider
Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.
We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.
We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.
Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.
Sustainability
For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.
Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan—reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions
Vacuuming
Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.
Spills
If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.
Professional Rug Cleaning
It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!
Rug Pads
Using a rug pad with your vintage rug may extend its life and provide extra traction and protection for your floors. To learn more about the pros and cons of rug pads, read this article.
Hamadan rugs are the heart of Persian village weaving! Coming from Hamadan, one of Persia’s oldest cities, these rugs are woven across hundreds of surrounding villages, each with its own unique patterns and styles. What unites them? Bold geometric medallions, strong angular floral motifs, and vibrant dyes. Because Hamadan has so many weaving villages, no two rugs are exactly alike, yet each one carries the charm of a time-honored tradition and the warm spirit of Persian craftsmanship.
