Vintage Handmade Persian Hamedan Rug – 250 × 135 cm (8 ft 2 in × 4 ft 5 in)
Traditional Large Medallion Design • Fine Wool • Tribal Motifs • Professionally Hand Washed
This attractive vintage handmade Persian Hamedan rug is a traditional village weaving from the Greater Hamedan region, dating from approximately 30–40 years ago. It features a striking elongated central medallion surrounded by small geometric and tribal motifs, creating a bold and beautifully balanced composition.
Measuring 250 × 135 cm (approximately 8 ft 2 in × 4 ft 5 in), the rug is a versatile size for a living room, dining area, bedroom, entrance hall, study or beneath a coffee table.
The rug has a warm madder-red field centred by a large medallion in muted blue and red. Dark navy and charcoal outlines give the design strong definition, while accents of ivory, olive green, soft blue, terracotta and warm brown add depth and authentic vintage character. The broad geometric border complements the central design and frames the rug beautifully.
Hand knotted from very fine wool on a strong cotton foundation, the rug has a durable construction and a good, comfortable pile. Its practical colours and robust weave make it particularly suitable for regular use in busy areas of the home.
The rug is in great condition, has been professionally hand washed and is clean, fresh and ready for immediate use or display.
