Artistic Merit & Craftsmanship
This Hamadan rug showcases the robust, authentic character of village weaving. Unlike delicate city rugs, its coarse weave and sturdy double-wefted structure were built for daily use. The traditional color palette of deep reds, blues, grays, and oranges highlights the slightly irregular geometry that gives tribal rugs their unique character. The presence of the traditional blue weft threads authenticates its regional origin.
