Hamedan Hand-knotted Blck/Ivry Rug 4' x 6' (India)
From the ancient deserts of Iran, through the mystical sands of time, comes this intricately woven Hamedan rug. Though woven in India, the pattern of these beautiful rugs hails from the ancient Iranian city of Hamedan. Hamedan is not only one of the oldest cities in Iran, it is also one of civilization's most ancient urban centers. Its historical origin dates back to several centuries before Christ. In the Hamedan area, 1500 villages specialize in their own designs, creating over 3000 variations. The rug designs are similar in layout, but each design has special characteristics to make one different from the other. Master Worldstock weavers in India have managed to replicate this pattern, using the same traditional techniques as their Iranian counterparts. The pattern of this majestic rug features beautiful geometric designs in rich tones of red, beige, green, and grey on a traditional black background and ivory border. Add the beauty and enchantment of ancient cultures to your home decor with Worldstock's huge selection of hand-woven rugs. Slight variation in the color and designs in each piece is normal in handmade rugs. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly.
