Vintage Handmade Persian Greater Hamadan Floral Wool Carpet – 355 × 270 cm

A beautiful large vintage handmade Persian Greater Hamadan carpet, featuring a traditional floral central medallion and the distinctive craftsmanship associated with the historic carpet-weaving region of Hamadan in western Persia.

Approximately 40 years old, this attractive carpet combines traditional Persian artistry with the natural warmth and character of hand-knotted wool.

The carefully arranged central medallion and surrounding floral decoration create an elegant, balanced composition, making this carpet an appealing choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Measuring 355 × 270 cm (approximately 11'8" × 8'10"), this generously sized carpet is particularly suitable for a living room, dining room, drawing room or reception area.

Traditional Floral Central Medallion Design

The carpet features an attractive central medallion surrounded by floral ornamentation, reflecting the decorative traditions of Persian carpet weaving.

The medallion creates a natural focal point, while the surrounding floral pattern adds movement and detail to the composition.

Carpets from the Greater Hamadan region are admired for their individual character, traditional patterns and practical wool construction.

Unlike mass-produced floor coverings, each handmade Persian carpet reflects the skills and artistic choices of its weavers.

The generous dimensions of this piece allow its traditional design to be appreciated across a substantial floor area, making it an excellent foundation for a carefully furnished room.

Natural Wool and Traditional Hand-Knotted Craftsmanship

Expertly hand knotted using wool on a cotton foundation, this Persian Greater Hamadan carpet reflects the long-established weaving traditions of western Persia.

The natural wool pile provides warmth, comfort and resilience, while the cotton foundation gives the carpet structural support.

Traditional hand-knotting creates the distinctive texture and individual character that make authentic Persian carpets so desirable.

The combination of natural materials and skilled craftsmanship makes this carpet both an attractive decorative feature and a practical floor covering for everyday living.

Age, Condition and Quality

Approximately 40 years old, this vintage Persian carpet is in good condition, showing light wear consistent with its age and retaining a good pile.

The gentle signs of use add to its authentic vintage character without detracting from its decorative appeal.

The carpet has been professionally hand washed and cleaned and is ready for immediate use.

It is suitable for heavy domestic use, making it a practical choice for a busy family home as well as a beautiful addition to a more formal interior.
