Story Behind the Art: Hamedan rugs, from one of Iran’s oldest weaving centers, are celebrated primarily for their durability. Unlike Kashan or Tabriz carpets noted for refinement, Hamedan rugs stand out as some of the most resilient Persian creations ever made. Using coarse, robust wool, they feature thick piles built for longevity. Stylistically, they often display large medallions framed by angular vines, stylized motifs, and occasional animal figures. Their geometric strength gives them a raw and expressive power, distinct from the finer delicacy of city weavings. Highly practical yet culturally significant, Hamedan rugs are enduring Oriental pieces admired for their rustic artistry and utility.
